Free Florida Simple Last Will and Testament: Printable Templates & Statutory Legal Guide

Because we have handled thousands of probate cases (after death), our firm has unique insight into consequences of failing to plan. We provide this simple Last Will and Testament entirely free as community service aimed at keeping Florida families protected. Our core practice specializes in Probate Court administration, focusing on helping families wrap up estates after a loss. Taking the time to plan for your death protects your family from expensive and stressful legal problems in the wake of your passing.

A Last Will and Testament is a legal document that dictates who receives your property after you pass away and names a Personal Representative who will oversee your final estate. Without a Will, Florida intestate laws decide who inherits your assets, and this may not align with your true wishes.

Core Statutory Rules & Requirements

• Testator Qualifications (F.S. § 732.501): The person creating the Will must be at least 18 years old or an emancipated minor and also of sound mind.
• Execution Formalities (F.S. § 732.502): The Testator must sign the document at the very end in the physical or remote presence of at least two subscribing witnesses.
• Witness Rules: This rules that both witnesses must sign the Will in the presence of the Testator and in the presence of each other. Witnesses should be disinterested parties who do not inherit under the Will in order to prevent conflicts of interest.
• Express Revocation Clause (F.S. § 732.505): Including an express revocation clause will legally void all prior Wills and Codicils, preventing conflicting instructions.
• Self-Proving Affidavit (F.S. § 732.503): When you attach a notarized self-proving affidavit, it allows the probate court to admit the Will immediately without needing to locate the original witnesses after death.

Key Structural Components of a Simple Will

• Personal Representative Designation (F.S. § 733.301 / § 733.302): This designation names the individual responsible for closing your estate. Under Florida law, a Personal Representative must be either a Florida resident OR a close relative by blood or marriage. They must be at least 18 years old and cannot have a felony conviction. Additionally, always name an alternate candidate in case your primary choice is unable to serve.
• Specific Bequests (F.S. § 732.515): Directs specific items of personal property (e.g., vehicles, jewelry, heirlooms) or fixed dollar amounts to named individuals.
• Residuary Clause (F.S. § 732.600+): Captures all remaining assets not explicitly listed in specific gifts (real estate, bank accounts, investments). All of the percentage shares listed in the residuary clause must total exactly 100%.
• Burial and Memorial Instructions (F.S. § 497.152): This outlines preferences for cremation, burial, or memorial services.

100% Remote Probate

When a loved one passes, handling their property and legal title requires clear and efficient guidance. Our founding partners and legal team have extensive experience navigating Florida probate courts, as detailed on our Lawyers Page. Court proceedings can almost always be conducted 100% remotely, meaning you will never need to visit a court or law office in person.

Our firm represents estates all throughout the state of Florida on an affordable flat-fee basis. We guide families through both of the primary forms of estate administration:

• Summary Administration: This is an expedited path for estates with non-exempt assets under $150,000 (If death occurred on or after July 1st 2026) OR where the decedent has been deceased for 2+ years. The asset limit threshold for summary administration is 75,000$ for anyone who died before July 1st 2026.
• Formal Administration: This is necessary for larger or more complex estates that require full court supervision and personal representative appointment.
