In her will, Susan left her prized painting (worth $20,000) to her best friend, Judy; her house and acreage (worth $500,000) to her daughter, Jill; and the rest of her estate (worth $320,600) to her daughter, Jackie. Susan didn’t leave anything to her estranged son, Joshua. In 2009, Susan died. One year before her death, Susan had shown her will to Jill, Jackie and Judy. Jill made a copy of the will at that time. Two months before Susan’s death, Joshua ade contact with her to reconcile their differences. After Susan’s death, her will couldn’t be found. Jill, armed with her copy of the will, petitions the court to probate Susan’s lost will. Based on general case law, what will the court’s initial reaction be? A. A lost will can never be probated. B. Joshua must be the one to petition the court to probate the lost will, not Jill. C. There’s no issue: a copy of a will can always be probated. D. There’s a presumption that the will was revoked by a physical act by Susan.
