They were an estate atty. It was someone whom would have been able to answer all my questions if they didn't go an die on me.
The will was lost or stolen(hard to prove) by an associate who claims to be executor via superseding will and claims the proffered copy is invalid. Nothing else has been submitted, but the time and contest are draining. additionally, those who stand to gain by intestate are siding with associate. I'll prevail in the end, but not until the estate is bled dry. Lots of details, but best not to get into them
This site has plenty of examples of what can go wrong. Good to read before the fact

Wills should be thoroughly documented and witnessed and updated and available when the time comes.
I'd say a timestamped video with testator detailing is hard to refute. Shows state of mind, no duress, and contents and intent. As long as interested parties are privy to the gist ahead of time, most contests should be prevented.
