Legal Question in Wills and Trusts in Massachusetts

Re: will

The Executor of the Will will pay the legal fees. The son can contest the Will, but that does not mean he will or has a good basis for doing same.

If there is a Will contest you should be notified by the court as well as the executor.

Re: will

If the will has been filed and approved, an executor will have been appointed. The executor has the duty to marshall the assets of the estate, pay the debts and distribute the remaining assets to the people named in the will. The son may contest the will, but usually the estate will pay the costs of the contest. Of course, this also diminishes the amounts that can be distributed.

I would have to fully review the will and the circumstances before I could provide any more specific answers.

Please let me know if I may assist you.
