How to Find Out Where a Probate Estate Has Been Filed
One side note - how do you determine the appropriate probate court where an estate is being, or has been, probated? An estate is probated in the county where the deceased person lived at the time of his or her death, or, in some cases, the county where the deceased person owned real estate. Use the following website to locate the correct name of the Massachusetts county by plugging in the name of the city where the deceased person lived or owned real estate: City - County Search.
