WITNESS, Hon. Frances M. Giordano, First Justice of this Court. Date: November 14, 2025 PAMELA A. CASEY O’BRIEN REGISTER OF PROBATE December 05, 2025 RESIDUARY CLAUSE IN LAST WILL AND TESTAMENT E very Will requires a residuary clause in order to dispose of property not otherwise bequeathed or devised. Property for which a bequest or devise has failed or lapsed or that has been disclaimed without alternative provisions will pass under the residuary clause. In the absence of a residuary provision, your property will pass under the laws of the intestacy statute. If the residue goes to two or more persons, however, and one of the residuary gift fails as a result of one of those persons dying before you, the other residuary beneficiaries will receive the “failed” gift proportionately. The Massachusetts intestacy statutes are found in Mass General Laws, Chapter 190B, Article II, Section 2-101. This is the Massachusetts Uniform Probate Code. These statutes govern the decent and distribution of your estate when you die without a Will. Testators (people who die with a Will) often have a clear idea as to the individuals or organizations to whom they want to leave their estate to. Often, however, they have not considered who should take the estate if the primary beneficiaries predecease them, or, in the case of a charitable beneficiary, if it is not in existence at the time of his or her death. It is always important to consider contingent beneficiaries, even where the primary beneficiaries are individuals who are much younger than you. GARDENS | FROM PAGE 14 Branches “let go” of their foliage when a thin specialized layer of cells at the base of the leaf petiole develops and separates from the branch. Changes in plant hormones cause this layer to develop, and the timing can be influenced by weather, such as decreasing temperatures or drought, by disease and in part the Testator’s deceased child will take the share that his or her parent would have taken had his or her parent not predeceased the Testator. This is also commonly known as a “per stirpes” distribution. The Testator can also provide for a “pour over” provision in his or her Will if, for example, his or herspouse were to predecease him or her, leaving the residue of his or her estate to a living Trust. The A typical residuary clause in a Will might read as follows: I give, devise and bequeath all my residuary property to my spouse, if he or she should survive me. If my spouse is not living at the time of my death, I give, devise and bequeath said residuary property to my children who survive me, in equal shares, the issue of any deceased child to take their parent’s share by right of representation. This provision will pick up all of the Testator’s assets that have not already been bequeathed or devised pursuant to other provisions in the Will. It also provides for distribution to the children in the event the Testator’s spouse predeceases him or her. It further provides a safeguard by providing that the distribution will follow the blood line in that property will be distributed to children of the Testator’s deceased children (Testator’s grandchildren) in equal shares. The phrase “by right of representation” in simple terms means that the distribution will follow the bloodline. Children of by decreasing day length. Diseased or stressed leaves may drop in summer while temperatures are still high. Genetics also plays a part, since in some trees, such as many oaks and beeches, the leaves remain attached through much of the winter, even after the foliage is brown and dry. Editor’s Note: Laura Eisener is a landscape design consultant Massachusetts Uniform Trust Code requires that the Trust be in existence prior to or executed simultaneous with the Will. It is advisable to provide a clause in the Will that states that the Testator’s issue (children/grandchildren) have intentionally not been provided for in the event the Testator leaves his entire estate to a living Trust. Mass General Laws, Chapter 191, Section 20. When executing a Will, always make sure it contains a residuary clause with clear language as to who will take your assets that have not been otherwise bequeathed or devised pursuant to other provisions contained in the Will. Contingent beneficiaries are a must. Otherwise, the laws of the intestacy statute will govern the descent and distribution of your estate. Joseph D.
