are copies of wills valid??

[millermakahahaw]

What is the name of your state? Hi. My friend and I only have copies of the wills we made in Pa. We left everything to each other and nothing to our children we both have from previous marriages . I called the attorney in Pa. who made the will and he said he does not have the original and in Pa. a copy is not honored. I called an attorney in Hawaii and he told me copies ARE honored in Hawaii but did not know if a copy from Pa. would be honored the same as one from Hi. Is this true? thanx
