There are 117 probate courts in Connecticut - designed to serve you as conveniently as possible. Check the MEMBER DIRECTORY for location and contact information for your local probate court.
- You may contact a clerk and judge for questions and assistance on probate matters. Note that judges and clerks cannot give you legal advice via e-mail, but they will assist in any way possible.
- You may need to seek the advice of an attorney or certified public accountant depending upon your individual circumstance. A lawyer is not always necessary.
If an estate is valued at less than $20,000, you may be able to utilize the informal small estates procedures in probate court.
- On your first visit to a probate court regarding a decedent estate, it is helpful if you can bring the following information:
- death certificate
- Last Will and Testament, if any
- complete asset and bill descriptions (not necessary but may be helpful)
- list of names and addresses of all heirs at law, beneficiaries or other interested persons.
- A family tree may be very helpful if you have one
