Generally a will would be filed wherever the decedent last lived. However, if the decedent owned real property in any other jurisdictions (states) the will would also need to be filed in the probate court where the land is located in order to vest title to that land in the heirs. In Massachusetts that would be a Petition For Allowance of a Foreign Will.
