How the Massachusetts Uniform Probate Code Affects Your Children, if You Don't Have a Valid Will.
Do you want to treat your children equally? If you don't have a will, the Massachusetts Probate Code is going to determine how your children are treated if you leave assets in a Probate estate.
If you are the personal representative for someone who did not leave a will, call to find out how the Probate Code applies to the estate. If you are planning for the future, call for ways to avoid the problems in the Probate Code distribution rules. The default rules don't apply if you plan a will or a Trust that leaves control of your legacy with the people you love.
