Marriage and Wills Under the MUPC, marriage does not automatically revoke an existing will. If a person marries after executing a will, their new spouse is entitled to a modified intestate share of the testators estate, as detailed in M.G.L. 190B, 2-301.
In Massachusetts, a will must be in writing, signed by the testator, and witnessed by at least two competent individuals. While hiring a lawyer is not mandatory, legal guidance helps ensure compliance with state laws and reduces errors. The will should clearly state asset distribution and appoint an executor.
The basic requirements for a Massachusetts last will and testament include the following: Age: The testator must be at least 18 years old. Capacity: The testator must be of sound mind. Signature: The will must be signed by the testator or by someone else in the testators name in his presence, by his direction.
Additionally, Massachusetts allows a person to leave a spouse out of a will, though the spouse can claim a share of the estate. Debts, taxes, and legal disputes may also reduce the inheritance a surviving spouse ultimately receives.
Generally, no, he cannot exclude his wife from his will. His children yes, but his wife no.

Marital property is defined as anything acquired during a marriage. A home purchased during a marriage, no matter whose name is on the deed, is considered marital property and is subject to equitable division under Massachusetts law.
The will must be filed in the probate court of the county where the deceased lived at the time of their passing. Choose the right probate process. Massachusetts allows for informal probate, which is quicker and used for uncontested wills, or formal probate, which is required when there are complications or disputes.
