Wills and Probate

When a loved one passes, a family needs time to grieve and heal. Blackwell & Spadaccini, LLC can alleviate the stress of managing the Connecticut probate process during this time. We are experienced probate attorneys who will help simplify the probate process and handle what can be an overwhelming task in a timely, efficient and cost-effective manner.

Our firm will open the estate with the Probate Court, inventory the assets, manage claims from creditors, prepare estate tax filings, submit a final account, and distribute assets to beneficiaries.

Blackwell & Spadaccini, LLC attorneys also help you plan your family’s future. We are experienced in preparing wills, health care instructions and appointment of health care representatives, and durable powers of attorney.

In a will, you designate beneficiaries of your property following your death, either by leaving your property to those beneficiaries outright or by leaving it to a trustee to manage and protect for the use and benefit of your beneficiaries. You may name a guardian for your minor children to handle their affairs until they reach the age of adulthood, as well.

A separate document from the will states your health care instructions governing the prolonged use of life support systems and allows you to designate an agent (often a spouse or a trusted family member) to make health care decisions on your behalf if you are incapacitated. A durable power of attorney allows a person of your choosing to conduct financial transactions on your behalf even when you are incapacitated.

These decisions require careful thought and the attorneys at Blackwell & Spadaccini, LLC will explain your options and give you time to decide what is best for your family.
