FAQ
Real estate can come in many forms - from homes to land to property to buildings, and your Will should make it very clear who gets which properties.
Yes. In most jurisdictions you can refuse an inheritance in a will through either a disclaimer, waiver, or written agreement depending on the jurisdiction and situation.
The following reviews a variety of non probate assets you might encounter. Property. Bank accounts. Retirement benefits. Life insurance policies. Any other assets that are owned jointly with others. Any other assets that have post-death designation in place.
The beneficiary will acquire the property in the future, upon the occurrence of a certain event or “contingency" (such as the death of the current owner).
The most common classes of assets that do not pass through the estate or ing to the terms of the Will are: (1) assets owned jointly by the testator and another person, (2) assets that have beneficiaries designated, and (3) assets owned by a trust. These types of assets are otherwise known as non-probate assets.
With a last will, you choose who you want to inherit your property after you pass away. With a living will, you outline your preferences about future healthcare treatments, in case you're ever unable to communicate your wishes to doctors and loved ones.
Can a no contest clause be enforced in Massachusetts? Yes, no contest clauses are enforceable under Massachusetts law, but they must be narrowly construed. Courts will only enforce these clauses if the beneficiary clearly violates the terms by contesting the will or engaging in similar legal action.
The easy answer is everything else, but generally any real or personal property that will not pass automatically to a beneficiary upon your death should be listed in your last will and testament.
Whether an estate has to be probated depends on how the decedent's (the person who has died) property is titled (owned) when they die. Some property may not be part of the probate estate because it passes directly to another person by law.
Any material misrepresentation or other evidence of fraud could be enough to invalidate the will. Improper execution. A will must be properly witnessed, notarized, and signed. Failure to abide by these and other formalities may support a will contest.
