Are the Will and associated documents I drafted in another state valid in Florida?

Payable on death (POD) and transfer on death (TOD) are beneficiary designations that can be denoted on your financial accounts to indicate who is to receive said account(s) upon your death. Accounts with these designations do not require probate unless the designations are invalid at the decedent’s death.
