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 healthcare proxy, and a living will. Massachusetts law also allows for revocable living trusts to avoid probate. Your attorney can explain which documents fit your situation.
Does Massachusetts have an estate tax?
Yes, Massachusetts imposes an estate tax on estates valued over one million dollars as of 2024. This is a lower threshold than the federal exemption, so many estates that avoid federal tax still owe Massachusetts estate tax. Proper planning can help reduce this tax burden.
How long does Massachusetts probate take?
Massachusetts probate typically takes six months to one year for uncontested estates. The process includes filing a petition, notifying heirs, and settling debts. An attorney can help streamline the process and ensure all court deadlines are met.
