My husband and I had our will prepared in Ohio and 5 years later moved back to Pennsylvania; everything remains the same except for the place or residence. Is it possible to update the change of address since we moved to a different state or should we call an attorney to prepare a new will?

A will is generally not invalidated by moving from one state to another. However, the state in which you live at the time of your death is usually the state laws which apply when the court is probating your estate.
It would probably behoove you to contact an attorney in Pennslyvania and schedule a consultation to make sure that the provisions of your will conform to Pennsylvania law. It may be that there are no changes to be made. If there are very minor changes, a codicil can be prepared. Otherwise, he/she may suggest that you draw a new will.
For a referral to an attorney, contact your local or state bar association.

It depends on each state's laws regarding wills. Chances are you'll have to have the wills re-done in Pennsylvania in order for them to be valid documents in that state.

forget a lawyer,they will charge you if you ask them if you can blow your nose.call the town hall or ask your bank,look just because you move things arnt null and void.call the county in ohio and ask them.lawyers are nuts, we think in this country they know it all.please use one as a last means.
