A will or trust created in one state stays valid when you move, but state laws differ on taxes and property rules. Jerry Taylor recommends having a lawyer review your documents after relocating to make sure they work the way you intended.
If your trust or your will, for that matter, was validly created according to the laws of the state in which you created it, then it should still be valid when you move to another state. So if you create a trust in Alabama and it's done validly under the laws of the state of Alabama, then you move to another state, that trust will still be good. The same goes for your will. Even so, it is still a good idea to have your documents reviewed by someone like me when you move to another state. State laws differ widely in areas of taxes. Some states have estate taxes and inheritance taxes, others do not. Some states have community property law, others do not. While the documents are still valid, you should have them reviewed by somebody like me to make sure that the intent you had when you created those documents is still carried through in your new state.
