Most people have heard of probate but do not know what it actually involves.

In Connecticut, the process moves through three stages: petition, where a Personal Representative is appointed by the court; administration, where assets are inventoried and debts are paid; and distribution, where remaining assets are passed to the heirs.

Each stage has its own requirements and deadlines. The Law Offices of Charles L. Kurmay guides Connecticut families through every step. Contact us to discuss your situation.

Your spouse does not automatically inherit everything when you die in Connecticut.

Many people assume marriage is enough to protect their partner. It is not. If you die without a will, Connecticut's intestacy laws decide how your assets are divided, and the result may leave your spouse with far less than you intended.

The state has a plan for your estate. The question is whether it matches yours.

The Law Offices of Charles L. Kurmay helps Connecticut families put the right plan in place before it is too late.

Connecticut Medicaid can call a gift you made years ago a fraudulent transfer.

Any asset transferred within five years of applying for benefits is subject to review. The penalty is a period of ineligibility, and after you pass, the state can file a claim against your estate before anything passes to your heirs.

A gift made with good intentions can become a serious legal problem if it was not structured correctly.

Your IRA is not protected from Medicaid in Connecticut.

Many people assume their retirement accounts are off limits when applying for Medicaid. In Connecticut, that is not the case. IRAs are counted as assets, and the eligibility limit is as low as $1,600.

With nursing home costs in Connecticut running close to $165,000 per year, the stakes are too high to leave this to chance.

The right plan, put in place early, can protect what you have worked for.

Federal agents are now showing up at people's workplaces over social media posts.

A New York woman was visited by two agents over an Instagram post containing a name that had already been reported by news outlets. They brought a folder with her posts and her driver's license and asked her to sign a form suggesting she had violated federal law.

If this happens to you, do not sign anything and do not answer questions without an attorney present.

If $500 million is not enough to make someone write a will, what is?

Zappos founder Tony Hsieh died in 2020 without one. His estate has been tied up in court ever since, complicated by a forged will, untraceable witnesses, and years of litigation that could have been avoided entirely.

You do not need to be worth $500 million for the same problem to affect your family. Without a clear estate plan, Connecticut law decides who gets what, not you.

Do not leave it to chance.

Inheriting property through probate often comes with costs that families are not prepared for.

Repairs, property taxes, administrative fees, and potential buyouts can all surface before the estate is even settled. That financial pressure is real, and it tends to arrive at the worst possible time.

The Law Offices of Charles L. Kurmay helps Connecticut families understand their options and navigate the process with clarity. With 100+ years of combined experience, we know how to move things forward when it matters most.

Contact us to schedule a consultation.

Strategic charitable giving can reduce your estate taxes while supporting the causes that matter most to you.

Tools like donor-advised funds let you claim an immediate tax deduction and distribute to charities over time, while charitable remainder trusts convert appreciated assets into income-generating investments without triggering capital gains taxes.

When integrated properly into your estate plan, charitable giving preserves more wealth for your heirs while maximizing your philanthropic impact.

Learn how Connecticut residents can structure charitable giving to benefit both their families and their communities.
