1. If it appears to the court that a will
cannot be proven as otherwise provided by law because one or more or all the
subscribing witnesses to the will, at the time the will is offered for probate,
are dead or mentally or physically incapable of testifying or otherwise
unavailable, the court may admit the will to probate upon the testimony in
person, by deposition or by affidavit of at least two credible disinterested
persons that the signature to the will is genuine, or upon other sufficient
proof that the signature is genuine.
2. The provisions of subsection 1 do not
preclude the court, in its discretion, from requiring in addition, the
testimony in person, by deposition or by affidavit of any available subscribing
witness, or proof of such other pertinent facts and circumstances as the court
deems necessary to admit the will to probate.
