§58-83.
   
   When a lost or destroyed will is established, the provisions thereof
   must be distinctly stated and certified by the judge of the district
   court, under his hand and the seal of the court, and the certificate
   must be filed and recorded as wills are filed and recorded, and
   letters testamentary or of administration with the will annexed, must
   be issued thereon in the same manner as upon wills produced and duly
   proved; if the court has admitted into evidence a copy of the lost or
   destroyed will and finds that the copy distinctly states the
   provisions of the will, the court may certify the copy of the will as
   distinctly stating the provisions of the will; the testimony must be
   reduced to writing; signed, certified and filed as in other cases, and
   shall be admissible as evidence in any subsequent proceeding.
