Question of Fact Existed About Whether Lost or Destroyed Will Had Been Revoked.

A question of fact precluded summary judgment denying probate where there was evidence the decedent did not intend to revoke a will that could not be found after her death.  There is a presumption that a will that was last in decedent’s possession but can not be found after death has been revoked.  But in this case there was evidence that the decedent was, close in time to her death, taking steps to dispose of her property in accordance with her will, which expressly disinherited one of her four children.  Matter of DiSiena, et al, 515209, Third Dept. 2-28-13
