Frequently asked questions
Do I really need a will?
If you die without a will, Connecticut intestacy laws and the probate court decide who receives your property — and it may not be what you would have wanted. A will lets you choose who inherits, name a guardian for minor children, and set aside funds for their care, support and education.
Do you handle probate and estate administration?
Yes. We represent trusts, estates and their beneficiaries at probate hearings, prepare estate, inheritance and income tax returns, and handle probate accountings throughout Connecticut.
