I will answer your question on my new blog dedicated to estate matters in Puerto Rico: www.mortiscausa.com The validity of a will drafted and probated outside PR is a very complex matter, given the strict legal standards of a notarize, registered and valid will here, but it is possible to grant full faith and credit to wills from other states or countries.
