Legal Question in Wills and Trusts in Massachusetts

Without reading the Will, it is not possible to tell you exactly what has to be done. However, if there is a specific bequest and the item being left to the individual no longer exists, then it need not be given. If your mother left $10,000 to my grandchildren and had $10,000 in stock then the Executor should sell the stock and pay the $10,000.

With respect to the home, it depends on the specific language in the Will and without reading the Will I can't be more helpful.

You may have to sell the house. It does depend on how the will was written and how your grandmother gave away her money in the will.
