ESTATE OF JOSEPH CARPINI, Deceased (16/2090) — This is an uncontested probate proceeding by the decedent’s sister to probate, as an ancient document, an instrument dated September 5, 1979. The decedent died on July 25, 2016 at the age of 89. In addition to the petitioner, the decedent’s distributees are two nephews and a niece who consent to the application. Distribution under the propounded instrument is the same as intestacy.

The four-page instrument, which is regular on its face, was drafted by an attorney, bears the signatures of two witnesses, both of whom are attorneys and one of whom is the drafting attorney, and contains an attestation clause. The petitioner’s attorney affirms that, inter alia: (1) immediately after executing the will, the decedent gave the original instrument to the petitioner for safekeeping; (2) the will remained in the petitioner’s possession; (3) after the decedent’s death, the petitioner delivered it to counsel; and, (4) the attorney draftsman and the other attesting witness are both deceased.
