The applicant sought to prove a lost will where the original could not be found after the testator's death.
The next-of-kin respondents argued that the presumption of intentional destruction by the testator had not been rebutted, which would result in an intestacy.
The court reviewed the testator's organized nature, her consistent statements affirming the sole beneficiary, and her understanding of the consequences of intestacy.
The court found sufficient evidence to rebut the presumption of revocation and admitted a copy of the will to probate.
