The Original Will Can't be found! Now what do we do?!

If you cannot find the original will, you may be able to probate a copy of the will. You will have to provide to the Court some reasonable explanation as to what happened to the original and some proof that the copy is accurate. Make sure to look everywhere before trying to probate a copy.

You should check everywhere: with the lawyer who drafted the will, safe deposit boxes, etc. before trying to probate a copy of the will. If you don't know the lawyer's name, try looking in the decedent's financial records and see if you can find a paid check or bill from the lawyer.

If the will is really lost, Then you should contact Pyke and Associates for further direction.
