Frequently Asked Questions
What documents are included in a basic estate plan in Massachusetts?
A basic estate plan in Massachusetts typically includes a last will and testament, a durable power of attorney, a health care proxy, and a living will. These documents ensure your wishes are followed and avoid the need for a guardianship proceeding in the Massachusetts Probate and Family Court.
Does Massachusetts have a state estate tax?
Yes, Massachusetts imposes an estate tax on estates valued over $2 million as of 2024. The tax is calculated on the entire estate value, not just the amount over the exemption. This is different from the federal exemption, so local planning is important.
How long does probate take in Massachusetts?
Probate in Massachusetts typically takes 6 to 12 months for a simple estate. However, complex estates or those with disputes can take much longer. A properly drafted estate plan with a trust can help your heirs avoid the formal probate process entirely.
