I had to go to the clerk’s office, have the person pull the original will and then go back to the courtroom and wait for that person to personally deliver the original will to the courtroom.  I was not given the original will to provide to the judge so my hearing was then heard last even though I had on the calendar to open the new probate.  It was very frustrating.
