tendering the instrument, or a photostat copy, or a copy authenticated in a

unusual circumstances, or where it appears that documentary evidence of any
material fact cannot reasonably be obtained, or where the claim cannot
otherwise adequately be determined. If a hearing is ordered, it shall be
conducted in accordance with KRS Chapter 13B. The administrator may
investigate any matter which in his judgment is not adequately proven, or which
shows or raises an inference of fraud, and may require submission of
supplementary proof.
