Definition: A legally effective document directing disposition of property at death and potentially naming a personal representative or addressing other permitted matters.
Example
An owner signs a valid will leaving a parcel to a named beneficiary.
Keep the distinction clear
A will does not automatically control jointly owned survivorship property or every beneficiary-designated asset. Florida execution and probate requirements determine validity and administration.
