Understanding the Probate Process
Connecticut has three different types of probate estates: Tax Purposes Only Estate, Small Estate, and Full Estate. The type of probate process you will need depends on the character and value of assets. A Tax Purposes Only Estate is used when assets are jointly owned, have named beneficiaries, or are held in trust. The Small Estate process is used when the assets are less than $40,000. A Full Estate is needed if real estate is involved or assets are worth $40,000 or more.
