Revocation of Will of Movables Fla.App.2023. Quot. in sup. After the appointment of decedent's daughter and son-in-law as personal representatives of decedent's intestate estate and the later discovery of two wills that decedent had executed in Louisiana in 2014 and 2015 before moving to Florida, decedent's domestic partner filed a petition to admit the 2014 will to probate, alleging that the 2015 will was invalid under Florida law because it was handwritten and unwitnessed. The trial court granted summary judgment for partner. Noting that the parties had stipulated that the 2014 will was executed in accordance with both Florida and Louisiana law, this court affirmed, holding that, under Florida law, the 2015 will could not be recognized as a will or as an instrument revoking the 2014 will. The court cited Restatement of Conflict of Laws § 307 in explaining that whether an act claimed to be revocation of a will was effective was determined by the law of the forum in which the testator was domiciled, and the parties did not dispute that decedent was domiciled in Florida at the time of death.
