Live from the “Exploring Unsupervised Probate” Symposium at Quinnipiac School of Law

Today, The Connecticut Bar Foundation James W. Cooper Fellows and The Quinnipiac Probate Law Journal are sponsoring a symposium entitled Exploring Unsupervised Probate at the Quinnipiac School of Law.

A crowd of approximately 150 probate attorneys and judges are gathered to explore the experience of states that have adopted (in at least some form) unsupervised probate for the settlement of decedents’ estates and examine the advantages and disadvantages of giving beneficiaries the ability to opt out of court-supervised estate settlement. The program will bring diverse perspectives to this issue including those of academics, judges and practitioners from both Connecticut and states that have adopted unsupervised probate.
