Trust law is extremely complex and you need to have your trust reviewed by an attorney who is familiar with Florida trust law. There are different requirements in different states regarding trusts, especially trusts that hold real estate. I have seen many examples of trusts drafted in other states used to hold real estate in Massachusetts that are invalid under Massachusetts law. That type of error can be very costly to correct if it can be corrected. The trust may fail completely or it may need to be amended by a judge.

Does a trust have to be written?

To be valid a trust must be in writing and meet certain statutory requirements. A trust that holds title to real estate generally must conform to the requirements of the laws of the state where the land is located regardless of where the trust originated. That means that if you live in California and draft a California trust that will hold title to land in Massachusetts, the trust must conform to Massachusetts law. A "constructive trust" can be imposed by a court to prevent unjust enrichment or to redress a wrong.

Yes. An Illinois Will is valid in Florida. The lawyers in Florida recommend that it be updated if a person moves to Florida to reflect new circumstances.
