Probate Court Regulation Process

Probate regulations are adopted in accordance with C.G.S. section 45a-77. 

Either the Probate Court Administrator or the Executive Committee of the Probate Assembly may propose regulations, but both must approve the proposed regulation.  

The proposed regulation is then submitted to the Judiciary Committee of the General Assembly for review. The Judiciary Committee has 90 days from the date of submission to accept or reject the regulations in whole.  Inaction of the committee is considered approval.
