    What if no one has the original will
    My older friend passed away, and left his portion of my original farm back to me. Problem is, nobody knows where the original will is, and nobody in his family wants to be the executor. Can the attorney who witnessed his will testify that the copy of the will filed with a waiver is a true and correct copy of the original will and will that pass for the judge so this probate may proceed?

    Did the attorney who did the will, not keep a copy?

    I don't completely understand what Cissy means by "filed with a waiver ", but in any case it does appear that there is a copy. I think that in most places that would be a successful way to proceed: prove the will by the testimony of the attorney.
