Closing an estate may not be legally required in M Closing an estate may not be legally required in Massachusetts, but it is essential.

A Personal Representative owes a fiduciary duty to beneficiaries and creditors, and a full accounting of all assets, costs, and claims ensures the estate was administered properly. Closing the estate provides final discharge from liability and answers the critical question: Did the P.R. do the right thing?

At Fegreus & Broderick, LLP, we guide Personal Representatives through the process to ensure estates are properly closed and all obligations are fulfilled.
Selling estate property depends on how the estate Selling estate property depends on how the estate is structured.

If there is a Will, it often includes a power of sale, allowing the appointed Personal Representative to move forward with the sale. Without a Will, court approval may be required, which can add steps but can still be handled efficiently with proper guidance.

If the property is held in a trust, the Trustee typically has the authority to sell it more quickly. Other factors, like Massachusetts estate tax, may also impact timing and strategy.

Fegreus & Broderick, LLP helps navigate these scenarios to ensure property sales are handled properly and efficiently.
