Legal Question in Wills and Trusts in Massachusetts
Father Remarrying
My father (age 78) is remarrying after the death of my mother. He currently has a will and I am co-executor with my brother. What happens to this will when he remarries if he doesn't change it? Do his children have any rights?

Massachusetts General Laws chapter 191, section 9, provides that the marriage of a person shall act as a revocation of a will made by him previous to such marriage, unelss it appears from the will that it was made in contemplation of the marriage.
