Legal Question in Wills and Trusts in Massachusetts

Re: Distribution of assets of deceased who had no will

First, since your aunt was married at the time of

her death and, typically, husband and wife own

everything jointly, she probably left no estate.

Assets jointly owned are not probated because

the surviving joint owner already has title to them.

Secondly, if she did have assets solely in her own

name when she died intestate her husband would

inherit from her.

Hope this helps,
