Do you have to go through probate if you have a will in CT?

Does a will in CT need to be notarized?

No. Connecticut does not require a will to be notarized to be valid. However, if the testator and witnesses sign the will in the presence of a notary who then notarizes the will, it is considered a self-proved will and there is no need to prove the will during probate, thereby speeding up the probate process.
