How Long Do You Have to File Probate After Death in Connecticut? ing to Title 45a-283, the executor must apply for probate of the deceased person's will within 30 days after the person's death. If they go beyond this timeline, they will be fined. There are exceptions, such as if a will isn't found until later.

If the decedent's solely-owned assets include no real property and are valued at less than $40,000 ? which meets Connecticut's ?small estates limit? ? then the assets and property of the estate can be settled without full probate, under a much shorter and easier process.

Full "probate" is ONLY required by law if the person who dies, with or without a will, (1) owned real estate (not just a life use) that does not pass by the deed to the "surviving" joint owner, OR (2) owned $40,000 or more of other assets that also don't pass by beneficiary or joint ownership to another person.

File an application with the appropriate probate court, together with a certified death certificate and the original Will and codicils. The application will list basic information about the decedent, including the beneficiaries under any Will or codicil and all heirs at law.

The Executor (or Administrator) of an estate will be supplied with a Fiduciary Probate Certificate (called PC-450), a document from the Probate Court that will evidence that the Executor/Administrator is appointed as such for the estate.
