Guiding Families Through Probate Administration
​
When someone passes away, their estate—including financial interests, real property, personal property, and outstanding debts—must be settled through probate court. Even with a valid will, probate is required to address and distribute the deceased’s assets appropriately.
​
The probate process can be complex and overwhelming for families. The court will appoint a personal representative to manage tasks such as:
​
-
Gathering and valuing assets
-
Notifying creditors and paying final debts
-
Filing the deceased’s final tax return
-
Distributing remaining assets to heirs and beneficiaries
​
At Weber, Carrier, Boiczyk & Chace, LLP, we help families navigate the probate system with compassion and efficiency. With decades of experience serving New Britain and Hartford County, we understand the intricacies of probate law and aim to make the process as smooth as possible.
​
