Many people receive advice from friends, family, or co-workers regarding probate and estate planning. Unfortunately, this advice is usually incorrect. When you have a probate question, it is crucial that you seek guidance from a lawyer with extensive experience in probate matters. Probate is a highly specialized area of the law.
Avoiding Probate
When a someone passes away, a major reason why it's necessary to go to the probate court is to determine the legal owners of assets that were solely in the name of the person who passed away.
In Connecticut, there is another reason for probate court involvement: to ensure that Connecticut estate taxes and probate fees are paid. This second reason is the source of much confusion and is often conveniently overlooked by unscrupulous purveyors of "one size fits all" estate planning products.
Whether your question centers on the estate planning process or you have lost a loved one and need probate representation, I encourage you to us at 203-592-0878 to discuss your options.
