Estate administration law in Connecticut is complicated and a bit confusing. Many estates handled in probate courts deal with complex tax laws and statutes. At the least, the process entails filing paperwork, paying debts, and the essential fulfillment of the obligations of the deceased and their will. Your probate lawyer’s responsibility is to file the necessary documents and notifications. He helps the executor or executrix identify estate assets and identifies estate debts to be paid. He also prepares estate tax returns and liquidates and distributes assets to beneficiaries. If there is a dispute, then things become complicated with additional hearings and legal intervention, which can be addressed through effective Probate Administration.
