Massachusetts Probate Court Lawyers
In the process known as estate administration (also called probate), the financial affairs of a decedent are wrapped up, and the estate's assets are distributed according to the provisions of the will. If there is no will, then the assets are distributed according to the laws of intestacy.
Many people have the belief that estate administration is a complicated, costly and lengthy process. It certainly requires a great deal of effort, but most or all of the tasks can be handled by a lawyer.
