Just when we were getting a handle on the new MUPC, it has been changed once again. Earlier this week, Governor Patrick signed St.2012, c.142, An Act Further Regulating the Probate Code and Establishing a Trust Code, which amends the Uniform Probate Code and creates a new c.203E: Uniform Trust Code, effective July 8, 2012. Fortunately, the Boston Bar Association Trust and Estate Section's blog has done a great job of highlighting both what's new in the Uniform Trust Code and what has changed in the Uniform Probate Code. A million thanks!
In addition, the Mass. Probate and Family Court has issued a new Uniform Fee Schedule, effective July 9, 2012.
