Re: Last will

The estate may still be probated if you have a copy of the will, although you will need some additional paperwork. You need to speak with an attorney specializing in probate.

Re: Last will

A copy of the Will may be probated under certain circumstances. If it is not admitted to probate, then the previous original Will would control, or if none, then the estate would go through probate as an intestate estate.
