How Do You Fill Out CT Probate Forms?
The role of the Connecticut Probate Court is to oversee the distribution of the estate when someone who owns property dies. If the person who died, called the decedent, left a will, the will determines how property will be distributed. If the decedent did not leave a will, property is divided according to state law. The Probate Court is also responsible for seeing that the decedent’s debts, funeral expenses and taxes are paid before the property is distributed. Seek professional assistance, the Probate Court advises, “when the estate to be managed involves substantial or unusual assets or if the estate is large enough to involve the filing of a Federal Estate Tax Return.” File PC Form 211 within 30 days of death when the value of estate assets is less than $40,000. The estate may include only personal property and real estate that goes automatically to a survivor. Fill in the form with the name, date of death and Social Security number of the decedent, and your name and address. Indica
