What were the requirements for a will in MA in1981? My husband passed away in 2007 while living in NH but the only will I fopund was written in 1981 while we were residents of MA. I am trying to get it through probate in NH but I feel like the attorney is making it more of a problem than it should be.

it is a simple statement of intention that details the person making the will, and the disposition. Generallly, it should be signed and witnessed. A self - proving will, has 2-3 witnesses and the signatures should be notarized.

The issue may relate to NH requirements for a Will from another state as opposed to the Will itself.
Mr. Lebensbaum description of the requirements for a Will in MA is accurate.
