Massachusetts residents dealing with estate planning needs may wonder about the impact of an individual dying without leaving a will. An individual who expires without a valid will is considered intestate, and the intestate estate is the collection of assets that have not been appropriately disposed of through a will. It is helpful to note that a portion of an estate might be considered intestate if a will does not adequately address that asset or property.
