Only an original, properly executed (signed) Will is admissible in Probate Court. And, the Will must be signed according to statutory requirements of the state in which it is being signed - the person signing the Will (testator/testatrix) must sign the Will in front of two independent witnesses and a notary, etc. etc. If not, any proposed, "Will" is invalid and non-admissible.
