Florida Governor Vetoes Electronic Wills Act

Apparently Governor Rick Scott has heard the concerns of estate planning attorneys like myself and has vetoed the Florida Electronic Wills Act.  

According to an article by Craig Hersch on WealthManagement.com, the Governor stated that the bill "failed to strike the proper balance between the competing concerns of providing safeguards to protect the will-making process from exploitation and fraud while making wills more financially accessible to citizens through technological innovation."

He did encourage the legislature to continue working on the bill, so we may still see a version of this in the future.

Hopefully I will have this fully active by the summer.
