Legal Question in Wills and Trusts in Florida

I live in the state of Florida and my estranged husband lives in Massachusetts. We have been married for 20 years but have not lived together as a couple for 15 years. What am i required to do legally when I have been notified of his death?

That would depend on Massachusetts law. Even though you reside in Florida, your husband resided there, and his estate would be governed by Mass law. I am afraid you will have to repost your question under Massachusetts to get a more detailed answer.
