MUPC Resource Center
Welcome to the Massachusetts Bar
Association's Massachusetts Uniform Probate Code ("MUPC") Resource
Center. After nearly two decades of debate, the
MUPC took effect on March 31, 2012.
This resource center will
provide practitioners with the tools and resources needed to gain
in-depth knowledge about MUPC overhauls and new court probate
forms. Consider participating in the two upcoming programs
listed below to keep abreast of the changes recently brought forth
by MUPC.
- Conveying Real Estate under the MUPC, April 19, 5-7
p.m., MBA, 20 West St. Click
here to register.
- MUPC Basics, April 27, 9 a.m.-5 p.m., Massachusetts
School of Law, Andover. Click
here to register.
MUPC substantially impacts the practice of estate administration,
increasing uniformity with other states, adding protections for
those under guardianship and the beneficiaries of trusts, easing
the administration of probate matters for judges and court
personnel and reducing delays for citizens.
The MBA is committed to helping
you be prepared for this momentous change in how probate law is
practiced in the state of Massachusetts.
