If you have moved to another state, then so long as your Will was A Will that is properly drafted and executed in your former state of residence, it will be valid in your new state of residence. Here is a link to an artivle that will explain further: https://law.freeadvice.com/estate_planning/wills/state_will_law.htm . If you still reside in the state in which you made your Will but no own out of state property, then a seperate probate may need to be filled although there are ways to avoid this.
