In Florida, there is no legal requirement to deposit a last will and testament with the court during the testator's lifetime. The will is typically presented to the court after the testator's death during the probate process.

Florida statutes require the original will be deposited within 10 days of the decedent’s death. The original will is placed in the county court for safekeeping and future reference.

In Florida, the last will and testament should be deposited with the Probate Division of the Clerk of Court in the county of residence of the deceased person. According to Florida Statute 732.901, the custodian of the will must deposit it with the clerk of the court within 10 days after receiving information about the testator's death .

It is important to note that the original will must be deposited, and not a copy. This ensures that the court has the official document for probate purposes. The deposition of the will allows the court to validate its authenticity and proceed with the distribution of the estate according to the testator's wishes.

It's worth mentioning that the deposition of the will is a legal requirement in Florida and helps prevent the loss or destruction of the document. By depositing the will with the court, it becomes part of the official record and can be accessed when needed during the probate process .

If you find yourself in a situation where you need to deposit a last will and testament in Florida, it is advisable to consult with an estate planning attorney who can guide you through the process and ensure compliance with all legal requirements
