Starting a Probate with a Copy of the Will If the original Will cannot be located, you can use a correct copy of the Will to open the probate estate. Only the testimony (and oath) from one disinterested witness is required to prove the Will if you have a correct copy of the Will.
Tracing the original will is crucial as the probate registry will always insist on the original before they issue a grant of probate. If the original cannot be traced then a complex application can still be made to the Probate Registry.
If a copy is provided, the specific content of the Will must be proved by one disinterested witness; or. If there is no copy available, the full and precise terms of the Will must be proved by two disinterested witnesses.
The short answer is yes, but you cant simply submit a copy to probate in place of the original. Florida law sets forth specific procedures that are required to establish that a copy of a will is accurate, and that the testator did not intentionally revoke the will by destroying the original.
Under New York law, a lost will may be verified and admitted in a probate proceeding under the following conditions: There must be evidence that the will has not been revoked. There must be evidence that the will was validly executed.

The custodian of a Will must deposit the original copy of the Will with the clerk of the Court having the venue of the decedents estate within 10 days of receiving information that the testator is dead. (S. 732.901, Florida Statutes.) There is no fee to deposit the Will with the clerk of Court.
Importance Of The Original Will The traditional reason that Courts either refuse to admit a will copy or admit it only after extra procedures is that a traditional and accepted way to revoke a will is to physically destroy it. There is no requirement that all copies be destroyed in order to revoke the will.
