The Probate Court for the District of Roxbury is located downstairs in the Roxbury Town Hall.  At this time there are 117 Probate Courts in the State of Connecticut, each of which is presided over by a Judge of Probate who is elected to office for a four-year term.

Probate Courts have jurisdiction over the following matters:

  • probating of wills and the administration of decedent's estates
  • administration of testamentary trusts
  • administration of living trusts (limited jurisdiction)
  • guardianship of the mentally retarded
  • guardianship of the person of minor children

Sometimes the issues presented to the Probate Courts are complex and difficult.  Therefore, it is important that you seek competent professional advice so that your legal rights are fully protected.  The probate judge and staff will be happy to answer your procedural questions, but they are not allowed to give you specific legal advice.
