Signature: The will must be signed by the testator or by someone else in the testators name in his presence, by his direction. Witnesses: A Massachusetts will must be signed by at least two witnesses, who should not also be beneficiaries in the will. Writing: A Massachusetts will must be in writing.
The will must be filed in the county where the decedent last resided with the Probate and Family Court Department so the personal representative may be granted Letters and proceed with the administration of the estate. Someone who dies without a will is called intestate, which invokes the strict laws of intestacy.
Its very common for a lawyer to charge a flat fee to write a will and other basic estate planning documents. The low end for a simple lawyer-drafted will is around $300. A price of closer to $1,000 is more common, and its not unusual to find a $1,200 price tag.
Whether an estate has to be probated depends on how the decedents (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.
