In their
300-year history, the probate courts have often been called
"neighborhood courts" because of their informality and
accessibility. Today, the courts
are also known as "family courts" because, in addition to
overseeing decedents' estates and trusts, they handle a wide
range of sensitive issues affecting children, the elderly,
the mentally retarded, and the mentally ill. This web site
continues the courts' tradition of providing prompt,
efficient service to Connecticut's citizens. Along with the
judges and clerks of Connecticut's 117
probate districts, I welcome you to learn more about the
work we do. |
