[Browse the store](/toolkits) Who it is for Whoever is settling the estate of someone who lived in Connecticut. Through a court office. Filed with the probate court for the district where the person lived, with a copy of the death certificate; the judge authorizes the transfers. Not the right fit if The person didn't live in or own property in Connecticut, or a will contest or family dispute means you need an estate attorney. Not a form preparation or legal service. Why it is different - Sources, checked November 2026: Connecticut Probate Courts form PC-212, Affidavit in Lieu of Probate of Will/Administration (rev. 07/23); Connecticut Probate Courts: User guide, administration of decedents' estates (PDF); Nolo (secondary source): How to Make a Will in Connecticut (Nolo, updated September 2025). - All 12 Connecticut facts are confirmed: on an official page, or where none could be read, on a vetted secondary source marked as such. What is inside - **Connecticut small estate route.** Personal property in the person's name alone up to $40,000. Solely owned real estate in the state rules the procedure out; survivorship real estate doesn't, and survivorship assets over $40,000 don't count against the limit. Real estate in the person's name alone takes the estate out of this procedure. No waiting period: the Probate Courts' form PC-212 asks for the date of death and that no estate petition is pending, and sets no minimum time before filing. The official form doesn't call for a notary. Signed under penalty of false statement; the form has no notary block. Through a court office. Filed with the probate court for the district where the person lived, with a copy of the death certificate; the judge authorizes the transfers. PC-212, Affidavit in Lieu of Probate of Will/Administration. Filed with PC-212CI (confidential information) and, if assets remain after expenses and claims, PC-212A (request for order of distribution). Affidavit in lieu of probate of will or administration: The small estate procedure itself: a probate court process, not a document handed to a bank. The surviving spouse can be the petitioner; if there is none, a next of kin. - **How a Connecticut will had to be signed.** Signed in front of two witnesses, who sign in the testator's presence (Nolo, citing Conn. Gen. Stat. 45a-251). Allowed. Per Nolo (citing 45a-285), the testator and witnesses sign an affidavit before a notary. Not recognized, per Nolo's Connecticut page (updated September 2025). A witness who, or whose spouse, gets a gift under the will could lose it (Nolo, citing 45a-258). - **Connecticut estate ledger (Excel).** Assets, debts, payments and distributions; it compares the countable assets with $40,000 and flags real estate in the person's name alone, which rules the route out. - **First 30 days, tracker and letters.** The first month in order, a documents and accounts tracker, and plain letters to a bank, a utility and Social Security.
