The Court of Probate, District of Enfield is a part of the unique Connecticut probate system of 123 courts, which were first established in the 17th century. The citizens of Enfield elect the probate judge every four years. Susan L. Warner was first elected in 1994, has been re-elected three times, and continues to serve as the Town’s Judge of Probate. The Court serves the Town residents in a variety of areas according to jurisdiction as set out in the Connecticut General Statutes, which includes, but is not limited to, overseeing the administration of decedent’s estates and trusts, appointing conservators for incapable adults, appointing guardians for minors and adults with mental retardation, name changes, and adoptions. The Court also processes passport applications as an agent for the U.S. Department of State. The Court is self-funded by statutory probate fees, but the Town is required by State law to provide office space, supplies and equipment.
Informational pamphlets are available at the court on a variety of subjects, such as the probate process, fees, wills, testamentary trusts and living trusts, conservatorship, guardianship, termination of parental rights, adoptions, and services and programs provided by the Department of Social Services, some of which are also available through the links on this web page.
