Legal Question in Wills and Trusts in Connecticut
My mother had a two separate legal guardians via probate court when she was alive; a guardian of the estate and a guardian of the person. She just died. Her guardian of the estate has her will in a safe deposit box (presumably under his name as guardian). What happens next in the process of probating her will given that immediately upon her death he has allegedly no powers?

The next step in the process would be for the named executor of the will to submit the will to the probate court to institute the probate process. If the named executor of the will does not do this, than a beneficiary or heir of your mother's estate can make an application to probate court to start the probate process. In doing this, it would be in your best interest to consult with an attorney and retain an attorney to work with you through the probate process.
