Terms Used In Massachusetts General Laws ch. 190B sec. 3-917

  • Settlement: Parties to a lawsuit resolve their difference without having a trial. Settlements often involve the payment of compensation by one party in satisfaction of the other party's claims.

If the court finds that partial distribution of the property of an estate in process of settlement can, without detriment to such estate, be made to the persons entitled thereto, the court may, subject to the rights of creditors and after notice, order such partial distribution to be made.
