Frequently Asked Questions
What documents are included in a basic estate plan in Massachusetts?
A basic estate plan typically includes a last will and testament, a durable power of attorney, a health care proxy, and a living will. Massachusetts also recognizes a statutory short form power of attorney for financial decisions.
How long does probate take in Massachusetts?
Probate in Massachusetts generally takes 6 to 12 months for simple estates. More complex estates with disputes or large assets can take 18 months or longer. The process begins in the Middlesex County Probate and Family Court.
Do I need an attorney for a will in Massachusetts?
While you can write a will yourself, Massachusetts law requires strict formalities including two witnesses who are not beneficiaries. An attorney helps ensure your will meets these requirements and avoids common mistakes that could invalidate it.
