Suzann and her team of experienced attorneys, staff, and lawyers have helped grieving families with the probate process for over 30 years. Probate is the legal settlement of an estate. Under Connecticut law, the Last Will and Testament must be filed with the Probate Court within a short time after the death. Last Will and Testament are only submitted for the filing if there are no assets. These documents must also be accompanied by a form for Probate if there are assets. When no waivers are filed, if the Court waits until the Executor appears, it will schedule a hearing to decide the validity of the Will and the designation of the Executor. The Court will notify all the beneficiaries, which includes distant relatives. They can then come to Cour and contest a proposed action. The Executor will start gathering all the assets and will notify the creditors once appointed. The Executor will file an inventory of all the assets owned by only one person, which is in public information, with the Court. After that, there will be more work to do, including reporting to court. For example, in 9-18 months (the estimation of the executor closing the estate, his final moves to the court are to file a Proposed Accounting where he identifies all the assets that will be distributed to the beneficiaries. Furthermore, the Court must approve this Accounting before they are issued distributions.
