<p class="x_MsoNormal"><span style="color:#1F497D">Division III had a recent unpublished opinion on lost will that is very interesting. Case involved a copy of the fully executed will with full attestation documents, original lost, and some supporting handwriting
testimony and it was accepted by the court as the last will and testament. Good update of Black case and curious distinguishment of the old Irish case.

<p class="x_MsoNormal"><span style="color:black">Dear Colleagues,</span></p>
<p class="x_MsoNormal"><span style="color:black">A client’s mother died last month but despite a thorough search no original will has been located.</span></p>
<p class="x_MsoNormal"><span style="color:black">After contacting local law firms, an unsigned photocopy of a 2002 will was obtained.
</span></p>
<p class="x_MsoNormal"><span style="color:black">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.</span></p>
<p class="x_MsoNormal"><span style="color:black">Has anyone had experience in having such a will admitted to probate?</span></p>
<p class="x_MsoNormal"><span style="color:black">Many thanks for taking the time to reply.</span></p>
<p class="x_MsoNormal"><span style="color:black">Best regards,</span></p>
