MEET THE FOUNDER & CEO

Hey, I'm Jason!

For the past seven years, I’ve helped Massachusetts families navigate the probate process and the sale of estate property. From securing a License to Sell to guiding executors through complex real estate transactions, my focus has always been on making a difficult time a little easier.

I understand that probate is not just about legal steps — it’s about people, families, and the emotions that come with loss. My role is to provide clarity, support, and practical solutions, so you don’t have to face the process alone.

Frequently Asked Questions

Do I always need probate in Massachusetts?

Not always. Probate is required if the person owned real estate or significant assets in their name alone. If assets were held jointly or in a trust, probate may not be needed.

How long does probate usually take?

Most estates in Massachusetts take about 9–12 months to settle. Simple cases may be quicker, while complex estates with disputes or tax issues can take longer.

What’s the difference between informal and formal probate?

Informal probate is a quicker process handled by a court magistrate without hearings. Formal probate involves a judge, hearings, and is used when there are disputes or unusual circumstances.

What is a “License to Sell”?

If the deceased owned real estate and their will does not give the executor power to sell, the court may issue a License to Sell. This allows the executor to sell the property as part of the estate.

Who can serve as an executor (Personal Representative)?

The person named in the will has priority. If there is no will, Massachusetts law gives priority to a surviving spouse, then heirs. The court formally appoints the executor.

What happens if there is no will?

The estate is considered intestate. Massachusetts law decides who inherits, usually starting with the spouse and children, then extended family. The court will appoint a Personal Representative.

Can the family sell a house during probate?

Yes, but the process depends on the will and the court’s approval. The executor may need either power of sale in the will or a court-issued License to Sell.

Do I need an attorney for probate?

Not every family is required to hire an attorney in Massachusetts. Simple estates can sometimes be handled by the executor without legal representation, especially if all heirs agree and the paperwork is straightforward. That said, many families find working with a probate attorney helpful — particularly when there are disputes, real estate involved, or complicated assets. Every situation is different, and consulting with an attorney can provide peace of mind that everything is being handled correctly.
