DESTROYED IN NATURAL DISASTERS. When an original will can not be reached, the courts generally presume that the deceased was destroyed to be null and void. However, there are personal and natural disasters that destroy the original documents.
The law provides that the presumption that the person who destroyed his will to revoke may be rebutted by clear evidence of all three. This clear evidence to show that the person who made a valid, must show proof of its content or substance of the will and must demonstrate that it was revoked by the person. These three elements must be tested by a person who wants to probate it.
