§58-82.
§58-82.
No will shall be proved as a lost or destroyed will, unless the same
is proved to have been in existence at the time of the death of the
testator or is shown to have been fraudulently destroyed in the
lifetime of the testator, nor unless its provisions are clearly and
distinctly proved by at least two credible witnesses. For purposes of
this section, a copy of the alleged lost or destroyed will can be
admitted into evidence, whether or not the copy reflects the signature
or signatures appearing on the original will, if the copy is properly
identified, and the court shall determine what probative value, if
any, is to be assigned to such copy.
