What is Probate?
Probate is the court-supervised process of closing out a loved one’s estate after their passing. This is often done by gathering assets and distributing them to creditors and beneficiaries according to their Will or Connecticut state law.

Probate and Trust Litigation
We are also one of the few firms in Connecticut that handles contested probates and trust litigation. Probate litigation can be divided into four primary areas:
- Contesting documents based upon incapacity, undue influence, duress and/or fraud of the individual signing the trust or will
- Contesting actions of fiduciaries (trustees and executors) for breach of fiduciary duty or forcing fiduciaries to account for their actions
- Bringing actions to recover property that belongs to a decedent or an incapacitated individual
- Elder abuse causes of action, which can be brought in either civil or probate court
At Drazen Rubin Law, LLC, we use our experience to realistically evaluate the best course of action to be taken in complex probate litigation. This skill, combined with our ability to communicate with clients and opposing counsel, minimizes both the financial and emotional expense of litigation.
Multi-State Support
Drazen Rubin Law, LLC’s attorneys are licensed in Connecticut, New York, and Florida to assist families who may be facing dual probates for loved ones who spent summers in Connecticut or New York, and wintered in the Sunshine State.
