Open in Lexace · Ask the AI about this section
No will shall be proved as a lost or destroyed will, unless the
same is proved to have been in existence at the time of the death of
the testator or is shown to have been fraudulently destroyed in the
lifetime of the testator, nor unless its provisions are clearly and
distinctly proved by at least two credible witnesses.  For purposes
of this section, a copy of the alleged lost or destroyed will can be
admitted into evidence, whether or not the copy reflects the
signature or signatures appearing on the original will, if the copy
is properly identified, and the court shall determine what probative
value, if any, is to be assigned to such copy.
