Mass. Gen. Laws ch. 190B, § 2-101

Intestate estate

Known as the Massachusetts Uniform Probate Code

The act spans §§ 190B-1-101 to 190B-7-503 (347 sections).

Section 2–101. [Intestate Estate.]

(a) Any part of a decedent's estate not effectively disposed of by will passes by intestate succession to the decedent's heirs as prescribed in this part, except as modified by the decedent's will.

(b) A decedent by will may expressly exclude or limit the right of an individual or class to succeed to property of the decedent passing by intestate succession. If that individual or a member of that class survives the decedent, the share of the decedent's intestate estate to which that individual or class would have succeeded passes as if that individual or each member of that class had disclaimed the intestate share.
