733.205  Probate of notarial will.--

(1)  When a copy of a notarial will in the possession of a notary entitled to its custody in a foreign state or country, the laws of which state or country require that the will remain in the custody of such notary, duly authenticated by the notary, whose official position, signature, and seal of office are further authenticated by an American consul, vice consul, or other American consular officer within whose jurisdiction the notary is a resident, is presented to the court, it may be admitted to probate if the original could have been admitted to probate in this state.

(2)  The duly authenticated copy shall be prima facie evidence of its purported execution and of the facts stated in the certificate in compliance with subsection (1).

(3)  Any interested person notified may oppose the probate of such notarial will or may petition for revocation of probate of such notarial will, as in the case of original probate of a will in this state.
