At Weber Carrier Chace LLP, we help individuals and families across Connecticut navigate estate planning and probate administration with confidence, clarity, and care.
Planning for the Future Starts Today
Estate planning is about more than just documents—it’s about peace of mind. Whether you're considering how to pass on your home, provide for your children, or ensure someone you trust can make decisions for you if you're unable, our attorneys guide you through each step. We’ll help you craft a plan that reflects your values, protects your property, and keeps your family out of unnecessary legal complications later. If you’re unsure whether you need a will, trust, or advanced directive—or you’re just overwhelmed by the process—you’re not alone. Many of our clients come to us with more questions than answers, and that’s okay. We’re here to walk you through the entire process in clear, straightforward terms.
Supporting Your Family Through Loss
Losing a loved one is difficult enough without the added confusion of navigating probate court. Many families assume that having a will means probate can be avoided, but in Connecticut, that’s not the case. Even with a will in place, a person’s estate typically needs to be settled through probate. That process can be overwhelming. The court appoints a representative who is responsible for gathering all asset information, notifying creditors, paying final bills, filing tax returns, and ultimately distributing what remains. Without guidance, this can be a time-consuming and stressful burden for grieving families. At Weber Carrier Chace LLP, we support you from start to finish. Our team brings decades of experience to every probate matter, helping you avoid delays, manage disputes, and ensure that your loved one’s wishes are carried out properly and legally.
