Estate Implementation Delayed 6 Months
The effective date of the estate provisions of the Massachusetts Uniform Probate Code was extended from July 1, 2010 to January 2, 2011. At the request of the Courts, the legislature voted to delay the effective date to permit more time for the Probate and Family Court to put in place procedures, forms and rules for the many changes in estate administration brought by the Code. The extension was signed by the Governor on January 3, 2011.
