Frequently Asked Questions
What documents are included in a basic estate plan in Connecticut?
A basic estate plan typically includes a last will and testament, a durable power of attorney, and an advance healthcare directive. Connecticut also recognizes living wills and appointment of healthcare representatives under state law.
Do I need a trust to avoid probate in Connecticut?
Connecticut probate is required for assets held solely in your name at death. A revocable living trust can help you avoid probate for assets transferred into the trust. However, not everyone needs a trust, and an attorney can advise based on your asset value and family situation.
