Navigating Probate: Can a Copy of a Will Be Admitted?
Can a copy of a will be admitted to probate? The short answer is yes. The long answer is yes, but it's very difficult. There are a number of hoops that you have to jump through, and the main hoop is that you have to prove that the original will was not revoked, which is no easy task. If you have a copy of a will but not the original, it's very important that you retain legal counsel. If this is an issue you are facing, I strongly suggest that you contact an attorney.
