What if you don't have the original will but have a copy?

If you only have a copy of the original will, it may still be accepted in probate court, but the process can be more complicated. You typically need to provide evidence that the copy is a true representation of the original will, which may include witness testimony or other supporting documents. It's advisable to consult with an attorney to navigate the legal requirements and ensure that the copy is validated properly. Ultimately, the court will determine if the copy can be probated.
