No, you do not need to redo your will. Any state will honor a will properly or validly created in another state, according to that other state's laws and rules. So as long as your will was valid in state 1, it will be vaid in state 2.

The attorney providing the answer was not serving as the attorney for the person submitting the question or in any attorney-client relationship with such person.

Although AttorneyPages.com has verified the attorney was admitted to practice law in at least one jurisdiction, he or she may not be authorized to practice law in the jurisdiction referred to in the question, nor is he or she necessarily experienced in the area of the law involved.
