[WSBARP] probating a lost will

[Carl Gay]

Dear Colleagues,

A client’s mother died last month but despite a thorough search no original
will has been located.

After contacting local law firms, an unsigned photocopy of a 2002 will was
obtained. 

There are no signatures of the testator or witnesses, merely a “/s/”
followed by the printed name of the testator and witnesses along with the
date of execution.

Has anyone had experience in having such a will admitted to probate?

Many thanks for taking the time to reply.

Best regards,

Carl Gay
