If there is a copy of the fully executed Will and you can get affidavits from attorneys, witnesses etc., the court may set a hearing for the allowance of the will. It is highly unlikely that Probate Court will allow a Will in copy form only without a hearing at which any and all interested parties to the will or estate can enter an objection to the allowance of the Will. If the Will is not allowed, the estate will be treated as an intestate estate (an estate without a Will). My best suggestion, especially if this is a complicated estate with lots of heirs, is to hire an attorney.
