Supreme Court of New Hampshire

1Opinion of the CourtDuggan, 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.
This case is before us again after remand. See In re Estate of King, 149 N.H. 226 (2003) (King I). We recite only a brief history of facts necessary to decide this appeal.
