1Opinion of the Court

GOLDEN, Justice.

[¶ 1] John Cheek appeals from a verdict issued after a bench trial denying several petitions protesting various aspects of the probate of an estate. One petition specifically sought to prove a lost will. Finding no grounds to support his alleged errors, we affirm.

ISSUES

[¶ 2] Appellant presents two issues for our review:

A. Whether Appellant was entitled to, a jury trial?

B. Whether the trial court erred in finding that appellant failed to meet the requirements of W.S. § 2-6-207 in establishing a lost will?

Appellees accept this characterization of the issues.
