It changes their inheritance. However, a no-contest clause isn’t enforceable in any document in the state of Florida, so it’s of no effect if you have it in your document, even if it’s a document that is in an out-of-state will that you bring to the of Florida. It’s not going to be enforceable here.[/vc_column_text][/vc_column][/vc_row]
