1. Your Will is a legal document that directs who you want to receive your property and who you want to act as your Estate’s Personal Representative (also known as Executor). If you die without a Will (dying ‘intestate’), then the Massachusetts Uniform Probate Code, specifically, the rules of intestacy, will determine the formula for distribution of your estate.
