Full text
(a) A copy of the will of a testator who dies domiciled outside of this state, authenticated in the manner required by this title, is sufficient proof of the contents of the will to admit the will to probate in an original proceeding in this state if an objection to the will is not made.
(b) This section does not:
(1) authorize the probate of a will that would not otherwise be admissible to probate; or
(2) if an objection is made to a will, relieve the proponent from offering proof of the contents and legal sufficiency of the will as otherwise required.
(c) Subsection (b)(2) does not require the proponent to produce the original will unless ordered by the court.
