Intestate Estates

When a decedent dies without a will there is more need than ever to have legal guidance during the probate process to ensure that heirs are appropriately identified and assets are properly distributed.

Public Administration

A Public Administration is necessary when a decedent who resided in the Commonwealth of Massachusetts dies intestate with no known heirs. Attorney Michael Chernick is an appointed Public Administrator in Hampden County who has vast experience in locating assets and identifying heirs.
