Presumption for thirty-year-old documents permits authentication of handwriting, execution, and attestation when produced from proper custody.

Presumption for documents purporting or proved to be thirty years old permits the Court, where the document is produced from proper custody, to infer the genuineness of signatures and handwriting. In the case of executed or attested documents, the presumption may extend to due execution and attestation. Proper custody includes natural custody and also custody with a proved or probable legitimate origin.
