                  This is an application to admit to probate the purported last Will and testament of Patrick Quinn, late of Carn, Ballybofey, County Donegal ("the Deceased") dated 23 November, 1992, ("the Will") in terms of a reconstructed copy thereof. While applications to admit wills in terms of a copy are quite common in the Non-Contentious Probate List, applications to admit wills in terms of a reconstructed copy (where not even a photocopy is available) are less so.
                  By contrast, the applicant says that the evidence establishes that the Will was lost in the office of Messrs. P. McRory & Co., the solicitors' firm who took custody of Mr. Foy's wills after his retirement in 2006, and that it can therefore be admitted to probate in terms of a reconstructed copy.
                  The estate of the Deceased is a modest one, comprising:
i.                     Approximately 30 acres of farmland which were valued in 2017 at �256,000.00 but which have since apparently increased in value.
ii.                   Cash held in credit union accounts, which Colette has sworn amounts to approximately �49,914.00, the remainder having been nominated in favour of two of the Deceased's nephews, Michael and Paul; and
