Rell signs Conn. probate reform bill
Posted by ConnPolitics.tv Editor on June 12th, 2009
Hartford (AP) – Gov. M. Jodi Rell says she has signed legislation overhauling Connecticut’s 300-year-old probate court system.
The measure consolidates the current 117 probate court districts to between 44 and 50. It’s part of an effort to cut costs and streamline the deficit-plagued system.
It also sets regular schedules of 40 hours per week in those courts – some of which are open part time now – and requires future probate judges to be attorneys.
Probate courts are best known for settling estates and appointing guardians for children and adults who can’t take care of themselves.
Rell’s office announced Friday that she had signed the measure earlier this week. She had strongly advocated the reforms, which the General Assembly approved last month.
