Petition for Probate of Lost Will
CASE NUMBER: 25PB-0033183 This matter is on calendar for further proceedings on a second amended Petition for Probate of Lost Will. The Court previously found the matter to be properly noticed with proof of service on file. An objection was filed by Daniel Burton. The Court notes Mr. Burton has not filed a competing Petition to be appointed as administrator of the estate. The original will has been lodged. The matter has been continued several times to allow Petitioner an opportunity to file proper proof of publication to address the issues previously raised on April 6, 2026. The proof of publication filed on March 16, 2026, fails to state that the Petition requests the decedent’s will be admitted to probate. No further documents have been filed to address proper proof of publication. In light of Petitioner’s failure to file the documents
necessary to move forward, the Petition is DENIED without prejudice. The clerk is directed to close the file. No appearance is necessary on today’s calendar.
