What do you do if you know, or if you believe, that someone who just passed away had a will, but you can’t find it? What do you do if you can’t find someone’s will, but you know he or she had one? In Florida, probate lawyers know that you may be able to admit to probate a lost or destroyed will. This process, or proceeding, is a creature unto its own, with unique rules and procedures, as well as interesting legal presumptions. If the decedent (who just died), passed away with the will in his or her possession, there may be a presumption that he or she destroyed the will.
