Probate is the legal process by which a deceased person’s assets are distributed, debts are settled, and any remaining property is transferred to beneficiaries or heirs.  The probate process involves validating the deceased’s will (if one exists), paying outstanding debts, and distributing assets.  The State of Connecticut has a unique probate court system and each town has its own probate court.
