My mother passed away recently, and all she has is a copy of her Will, with all the signatures. We can not find the original one, despite our search (including checking with the Lawyers who helped draft the Will). What is the next step?
Ask a local lawyer whether your state will probate a copy of a Will. Some states will if you can produce the witnesses to the Will or witnesses to your mother's handwriting.
