Massachusetts Intestacy Calculator TM
See the Massachusetts intestate succession statutes interpreted. This is the only program that calculates the next of kin and the dollar amount given to each intestate heir according to Massachusetts' intestacy laws. (Part II, Real and Personal Property and Domestic Relations, Title II, Descent and Distribution, Wills, Estates of Deceased Persons and Absentees, Guardianship, Conservatorship and Trusts) You can also read selected portions of the state intestate laws or open the state government sponsored legal site HERE.
Enter an intestate estate value and answer the marital status question. Continue answering questions until the answer is automatically shown. (Keep trying until you learn when step-children are entitled to a portion of the estate or when the estate escheats.)
