Before you begin — know the assets and liabilities
Before you file in Glastonbury, list the decedent's assets, debts, real estate, beneficiary designations, jointly owned property and likely creditors. Connecticut estate settlement depends heavily on what the decedent owned, because the Probate Court fee under C.G.S. section 45a-107 is computed later from estate value, including assets that may pass outside the probate estate.
Sunset can help you search across 2,300 institutions before you choose forms or call the clerk. That asset discovery step helps families decide whether they are opening a full estate at the Glastonbury-Hebron Probate Court, using the C.G.S. section 45a-273 small estate procedure, or only filing the Connecticut estate tax return that is due within six months.
Which court handles jurisdiction
Connecticut probate is handled by a separate statewide system of 54 probate districts under C.G.S. section 45a-2, one for each Probate Court district, not by the Superior Court and not by any county. The Glastonbury-Hebron Probate Court serves Glastonbury and Hebron (C.G.S. section 45a-2). The courthouse is in Glastonbury at 2143 Main Street.
If the decedent was domiciled in Glastonbury or Hebron and left a will, the executor applies to the Probate Court for that district within thirty days after death (C.G.S. section 45a-283). If the decedent died intestate, the Probate Court for the district where the decedent was domiciled has jurisdiction to grant letters of administration (C.G.S. section 45a-303). If the decedent was not a Connecticut resident but owned Connecticut property, C.G.S. section 45a-287 supplies the possible Connecticut filing districts.
If you are not sure whether the town is Glastonbury, Hebron or a nearby town assigned elsewhere, use the statewide Court Locator at ctprobate.gov/court-locator before filing.
The jurisdiction process
- Choose the correct Connecticut path before filing. For a full estate, start with PC-200, Petition/Administration or Probate of Will, in the court for the district where the decedent was domiciled (C.G.S. section 45a-283). If the C.G.S. section 45a-273 small estate procedure fits, use the affidavit in lieu process instead. For a nonresident decedent with Connecticut property, review the ancillary route under C.G.S. section 45a-287.
- File with the Glastonbury-Hebron Probate Court, PD-06. You may bring or mail paper filings to 2143 Main Street, Glastonbury, CT 06033, or mail them to P.O. Box 6523, Glastonbury, CT 06033-6523. The statewide eFiling system is available under Probate Court Rules of Procedure, section 22.1, but the original will cannot be eFiled and must reach the court on paper under section 7.1a.
- Do not bring an opening payment for a decedent estate filing fee. Connecticut does not charge a filing fee to open a decedent's estate. Under section 6.1 of the Probate Court Rules of Procedure, the statutory filing fee is due at filing in every kind of Probate Court matter except a decedent's estate and an accounting. Instead, the Glastonbury-Hebron Probate Court bills the estate later. The fee is set by statute and is the same in all 54 Connecticut probate districts (C.G.S. section 45a-105). For a person who died on or after July 1, 2016, it is graduated on the greater of the inventory, the gross estate or the Connecticut taxable estate, running from $25 up to a cap of $40,000, with a minimum of $150 where a full estate is opened on a basis under $10,000, and with any portion passing to a surviving spouse counted at half (C.G.S. section 45a-107). The fee is owed on everything the decedent owned, including assets that pass outside probate, and it is owed whether or not an estate is opened at all. Interest of 0.5 per cent per month runs on a probate fee that is unpaid thirty days after the court's invoice, and separately on the fee of an estate whose Connecticut estate tax return is filed late (C.G.S. section 45a-107). ctprobate.gov publishes a fee calculator at ctprobate.gov/fees-expenses-calculators.
- Watch for notice from the court. The court may set a hearing, may act after written waivers, or may use the streamline notice procedure under Probate Court Rules of Procedure, section 8.6, which gives parties a chance to request a hearing.
- Ask early if a party, witness or attorney needs to participate by electronic means. Probate Court Rules of Procedure, section 66.1 lets the court permit that on request or on its own motion, but it is a request the court decides and the rule names no platform.
- After appointment, ask the clerk for certified copies of the certificate of appointment. Under C.G.S. section 45a-200, that certificate is sufficient evidence of the fiduciary's authority and identity for one year from issuance.
- Administer the estate under the court's decrees. File the inventory on PC-2407 within two months after qualification unless the court extends the time under C.G.S. section 45a-341, follow the creditor notice and claims process under C.G.S. sections 45a-354 and 45a-356, and file the return of claims under C.G.S. section 45a-361.
- File the Connecticut estate tax return within six months. For a decedent domiciled in Glastonbury or Hebron, CT-706 NT is filed with the Probate Court when that form applies, while CT-706/709 is filed with the Department of Revenue Services with a copy to the Probate Court when that form applies.
- Close the estate when administration is complete. Most estates use PC-246, Financial Report/Decedent's Estate, under Probate Court Rules of Procedure, section 30.19, or an account if required. If the court directs an affidavit of closing, use PC-213 under Probate Court Rules of Procedure, section 36.12.

Scenarios
| Situation | Likely path in Glastonbury or Hebron | Where Sunset helps |
|---|---|---|
| Surviving spouse with a co-owned home | First identify what passed outside probate and what remains in the decedent's name alone. Even if a full estate is not needed, a Connecticut estate tax return is due within six months, and the Probate Court fee under C.G.S. section 45a-107 is computed from estate value. | Sunset helps find accounts, beneficiary designations and debts so the spouse can decide what must be filed at the Glastonbury-Hebron Probate Court and what passes outside administration. |
| Out-of-state adult child with a small estate | If the decedent was domiciled in Glastonbury or Hebron, file in PD-06 even if the child lives elsewhere. The C.G.S. section 45a-273 small estate procedure may be available if the statutory conditions fit, and an out-of-state fiduciary may need PC-482 for service. | Sunset organizes the asset list, drafts the probate packet and helps the child decide what can be handled by mail, eFiling under section 22.1, or a request for electronic participation under section 66.1. |
| Parent settling a predeceased child's estate, home must be sold | A solely owned Connecticut home means the C.G.S. section 45a-273 small estate procedure is not the route. A full estate is usually opened at the Glastonbury-Hebron Probate Court if the child was domiciled in Glastonbury or Hebron, and the court's certificate of appointment under C.G.S. section 45a-200 gives the fiduciary authority to work with banks, buyers and title professionals. | Sunset helps locate accounts, produce a clean inventory for C.G.S. section 45a-341 purposes, and connect the parent with a Connecticut probate attorney when a sale or family dispute makes estate settlement harder. |

When to hire an attorney
Connecticut does not require every estate to have a lawyer, but the Probate Court Administrator says estate matters can be complex and that legal advice is often advisable. Counsel makes particular sense if a will may be contested, a home must be sold, a fiduciary lives outside Connecticut, tax filings are uncertain, or family members disagree about the Glastonbury-Hebron Probate Court filing. Sunset connects you to a vetted probate attorney.
How Sunset helps
Find the accounts and assets. Sunset searches for financial accounts, insurance, employer benefits and other assets that families often miss during estate settlement, then organizes what belongs in the Glastonbury-Hebron Probate Court process.
Generate the probate packet. Sunset turns the information you provide into a ready-to-review Connecticut probate packet, including the core court forms used for a full estate or the C.G.S. section 45a-273 small estate procedure when that route fits.
Find a local probate attorney. If the estate involves real estate, a dispute, an out-of-state fiduciary, missing assets or a tax question, Sunset can connect the family with a Connecticut probate attorney familiar with estate settlement in the Probate Courts.
Sunset is free for families. Families can use Sunset to organize the estate, understand the next filing step and decide whether attorney help is needed without paying Sunset.
Frequently asked questions
Where do I file probate if the person lived in Glastonbury or Hebron?
File with the Glastonbury-Hebron Probate Court, PD-06. It serves Glastonbury and Hebron under C.G.S. section 45a-2. If the decedent was domiciled in either town and left a will, the executor applies in that district under C.G.S. section 45a-283. If the decedent died intestate, the district where the person was domiciled handles letters of administration under C.G.S. section 45a-303.
Is the Glastonbury-Hebron Probate Court in Glastonbury or Hebron?
The courthouse is in Glastonbury. The street address is 2143 Main Street, Glastonbury, CT 06033, and the mailing address is P.O. Box 6523, Glastonbury, CT 06033-6523.
Can I use e-filing at the Glastonbury-Hebron Probate Court?
The statewide eFiling system is powered by TurboCourt. Attorneys who appear in a probate matter must register, and registration is optional for everyone else, under Probate Court Rules of Procedure, section 22.1. A self-represented party may use an Individual account if eligible, but the original will cannot be eFiled and must reach the court on paper under section 7.1a.
Does the Glastonbury-Hebron Probate Court publish hearing days or wait times?
The court's contact page lists the address, hours, phone, fax and towns served, but it does not publish a hearing-day calendar. Call the clerk at (860) 652-7629 to ask how the court will schedule your matter. A decision of the Probate Court may be appealed to the Superior Court, generally within thirty days of the date the court sent the decree (C.G.S. section 45a-186).
Can I take part in a Glastonbury-Hebron Probate Court hearing by phone or video?
Connecticut Probate Courts may allow a party, witness or attorney to take part in a hearing, conference or deposition by electronic means. Section 66.1 of the Probate Court Rules of Procedure lets the court permit it on request or on its own motion, weighing factors that include the nature of the proceeding, the technology available, and whether remote participation would still allow full examination of witnesses. It is a request the court decides, not a right, and the rule names no platform. Ask the clerk of the Glastonbury-Hebron Probate Court what that court expects.
How do I look up a Glastonbury or Hebron estate case?
Use Connecticut Case Lookup at ctprobate.gov/case-lookup and filter to PD-06. The tool covers decedents' estates and trusts from January 5, 2011 to the present, although earlier matters may appear incompletely. It shows case index information and fiduciary contact information, not filed documents.
Does the Glastonbury-Hebron Probate Court have local probate forms?
No separate local form packet is published by this court. Connecticut probate forms are statewide, and the Glastonbury-Hebron Probate Court uses the numbered PC forms published by the Office of the Probate Court Administrator. For example, PC-200 is used to open a full estate in the district where the decedent was domiciled (C.G.S. section 45a-283), and PC-212 is used for the C.G.S. section 45a-273 small estate procedure.
What does it cost to open a decedent estate in Glastonbury-Hebron?
No filing fee is due when a decedent's estate is opened. The Probate Court bills the estate later under C.G.S. section 45a-107, using the statewide statutory fee calculation. For a person who died on or after July 1, 2016, that fee is graduated and capped by statute, and ctprobate.gov provides a decedents' estates calculator.
Do I have to travel to Glastonbury for probate?
Not always. Some matters may proceed after waivers or through the streamline notice procedure under Probate Court Rules of Procedure, section 8.6. The statewide eFiling system may be available under section 22.1, although the original will must be delivered on paper under section 7.1a. If a hearing is set, electronic participation is a request for the court to decide under section 66.1.
