COMMON QUESTIONS

  • Do I need an attorney for a real estate closing in Connecticut?

    Yes, Connecticut is an attorney state, which means a licensed attorney is typically required to oversee real estate closings. An attorney reviews contracts, ensures documents are properly prepared, and helps address any legal issues that arise before closing.

  • Is an estate plan necessary if I don’t have significant assets?

    Yes, estate planning is still important regardless of asset size. It helps ensure your wishes are clearly documented, simplifies matters for your family, and can address decisions beyond finances, such as healthcare directives and guardianship.

  • Are all estates required to go through probate?

    Not all estates must go through probate. Smaller estates or those with properly structured assets may qualify for simplified procedures or avoid probate altogether, depending on how they are set up under Connecticut law.
