DUGGAN, J.

The petitioner, Laurel King, the executrix of the Estate of J. Douglas King, appeals an order of the Hillsborough County Probate Court (Cassavechia, J.) declaring the decedent to be intestate because the petitioner failed to prove by a preponderance of the evidence that the decedent's will was more likely lost than destroyed. The petitioner also appeals the award of attorney's fees. We affirm in part and reverse in part.
