Thank you for your interest in serving in the role of attorney for the Connecticut Probate Courts.
The Integrity of the Practice/Pro Bono Subcommittee of the CBA Estates & Probate Section publishes the Manual for Court-Appointed Attorneys in Courts of Probate. This resource provides key practice guidelines for attorneys practicing in the Probate Courts.
If you wish to be
added to the Probate Court Administration Attorney Panel and be paid from the
Probate Court Administration Fund, please complete and return three forms to
Probate Court Administration: the Attorney Application, the State of
Connecticut Agency Vendor Form (SP-26NB) and the W-9 (see below).
The tax identification number, business entity, name
and address must match on all forms for you to be set up in the accounts
payable system.
The Comptroller’s
Office now offers two valuable services, Electronic Funds Transfer of
payments (https://www.osc.ct.gov/vendor/directdeposit.html) and a Vendor
Self-Service web site (https://www.osc.ct.gov/vendor/index.html) for accounts
payable information. If you are interested in participating, send the Electronic
Funds Transfer form, a copy of the W-9 and a canceled check or
deposit slip to the address on the EFT form.
Below is the fee schedule for attorneys appointed by the Probate
Court for indigent clients. Invoices must be submitted through the eBilling
system found at
https://go.tybera.net/ct/. Be sure to assign a unique invoice number on each invoice
and remember that all invoices must be submitted to the Probate Court within
six (6) months from the date services are rendered.
Please contact Probate Court Administration if you have any questions.
