If you are one of the many same-sex couples that took advantage of the legal recognition of same-sex marriage in Massachusetts, you probably think that you've done everything you can to protect your spouse, your children and your estate. Not so fast.
If you recently got married, those wills you and your partner created years ago to protect one another are no longer valid. That is because in Massachusetts a marriage automatically revokes any wills previously made, unless the will clearly indicates that it's being made in anticipation of an upcoming marriage. Have your current wills and estate plan reviewed and updated by an attorney today so that you and your family are protected in the event of the death or disability of either spouse.
