In Re Estate of David R. Leath

Case Number
E2007-00555-COA-R3-CV

Decedent’s will could not be located after his death, and decedent’s widow and stepdaughters
petitioned the trial court to recognize and establish a copy of such will as decedent’s last will and
testament. The trial court denied the petition upon determining that the petitioners failed to present
sufficient evidence to overcome the strong presumption that the lost will was revoked by decedent.
We affirm the judgment of the trial court and remand.
