If the testator (person who signed the Will and later died) the Will there is a presumption that the testator revoked the Will, so you would need to overcome that presumption and then FL Section 733.207 says: "Establishment and probate of lost or destroyed will.�Any interested person may establish the full and precise terms of a lost or destroyed will and offer the will for probate. The specific content of the will must be proved by the testimony of two disinterested witnesses, or, if a correct copy is provided, it shall be proved by one disinterested witness." Good luck.
