and the dollar amount given to each intestate heir according to Massachusetts'
intestacy laws. (Part II, Real and Personal Property and Domestic
Relations, Title II, Descent and Distribution, Wills, Estates of Deceased
Persons and Absentees, Guardianship, Conservatorship and Trusts) You can also read selected portions of the state
intestate laws or open the state government sponsored legal site

Enter an
intestate estate
value and answer the marital status question.
Continue answering questions until the answer is automatically shown. (Keep trying until you learn when step-children are
entitled to a portion of the estate or when the estate
escheats.)
