The list below shows most of the probate court locations within Connecticut, with their phone numbers. Larger towns and cities generally maintain an office with the full staff and facilities for a probate court. In smaller towns, the probate court may operate out of a facility set up by and for the convenience of the elected probate judge. Note that those locations marked with an asterisk have reported limited hours (i.e., reduced hours or half-days, four-day weeks, or hours by appointment) and should be called first to confirm the times when they are staffed. All telephone listings, etc., are as reported by the CT Secretary of State in the Connecticut State Register and Manual.   Please note that Court PC does not currently maintain a database of CT Probate Court cases.
