What Is a Last Will and Testament?

Connecticut defines a will as “codicils to a will and amendments to a trust as the context may require.” (§ 45a-233)

Requirements

To execute a valid will, individuals must:

  • Be mentally sound and at least eighteen (18) years of age. (§ 45a-250)
  • The will must be signed by two competent witnesses. (§ 45a-251)
  • The will must be in writing. (§ 45a-251)

Filing

Connecticut does not require wills to be filed during a testator’s lifetime. Residents may deposit their wills with probate courts for safekeeping if desired.
