Terms Used In Massachusetts General Laws ch. 190B sec. 4-401

  • Decedent: A deceased person.
  • Jurisdiction: (1) The legal authority of a court to hear and decide a case. Concurrent jurisdiction exists when two courts have simultaneous responsibility for the same case. (2) The geographic area over which the court has authority to decide cases.

An adjudication rendered in any jurisdiction in favor of or against any personal representative of the estate of a non resident decedent is as binding on the local personal representative as if the local personal representative were a party to the adjudication.
