"Massachusetts Probate and Family Court have exclusive jurisdiction over probate matters such as wills, trusts, guardianships, and conservatorships.
The Court also have jurisdiction over family-related matters such as divorce hearings, support, paternity establishment, family abuse protection, elderly abuse protection, disabled person's abuse protection, custody, and adoption matters."
If a person passes away in Massachusetts, their family or attorney must file probate matters in the county where they lived before their death.
If you are unfamiliar with county borders, you can view a city and town map or a county map of Massachusetts. The Commonwealth provides both these present-day maps.
