Legal Question in Wills and Trusts in Florida
How to prove original will was lost.
I have a COPY of the will. The original was acquired from my Mom's safety deposit box and was sent to a lawyer. The lawyer claims it wasn't the original. Rather than a debate that I will lose (I can't prove I mailed the original) I understand it's possible to ''prove'' an original was lost. What is the procedure for proving an original copy of a will was lost? (HOW do you prove it?)
The original was notorized and witnessed by two of her friends.

Re: How to prove original will was lost.
The procedure is complex( it involves procedures) in order to make sure the copy of the will is the copy of the original. I would suggest you call me at my law office tomorrow if you would like me to assist you.
