(PUTNAM, CT) – Judge of Probate Gabrielle Labonte announced today that the Northeast Probate Court has moved from 508 Pomfret Street to a more central location at 84 Providence Street in Putnam.

“The new space is situated in the heart of Putnam, right near the new municipal complex,” Judge Labonte stated. “This move enables us to better accommodate visitors and enhances accessibility, being conveniently located on the public transportation route."

Like all of Connecticut’s Probate Courts, the Northeast Probate Court works with families during times of need, providing services that include:

• Assisting older adults who need extra care to age in place in their own homes, instead of in a nursing facility
• Supervising the care and finances of individuals who need the assistance of a conservator
• Supporting individuals with intellectual disability to live in the community, rather than an institutional setting
• Keeping children in familiar surroundings, under the care of family and friend guardians, instead of being placed into foster care.

The Northeast Probate Court is open from 8:15 a.m. to 4:45 p.m., Monday through Thursday and from 8:15 a.m. to 3 p.m. on Fridays. The court can still be reached at the same phone number which is (860) 928-4844. The Northeast Probate Court serves the towns of Ashford, Brooklyn, Eastford, Pomfret, Putnam, Thompson, and Woodstock.
