More details to this question:
The law firm who wrote my husband's will went out of business. The atty. who wrote it said the law firm has files in storage but he has no idea where to find the document. Since I have to file in SC & FL, they both need an original will. How do I obtain another copy?

In South Carolina you can use a copy of a Will. However, you will have to schedule a hearing to explain to the court why you do not have the original. Once the judge hears the circumstances I believe that he/she will accept a copy.
