CT HB06435

Requires courts of probate to include a notice in any written order, denial, or decree that may be subject to appeal, informing parties of their right to appeal to Superior Court.

The notice must be in boldface type with a minimum font size of twelve points and reference the applicable Connecticut General Statutes sections that form the basis for appeal.

Removes the word "specially" from Connecticut General Statutes section 45a-186(a) to clarify that persons aggrieved by probate court orders may appeal unless otherwise provided by law.

Removes the word "specially" from section 45a-186(g) to clarify that nothing prevents aggrieved persons from filing petitions for habeas corpus, termination of involuntary representation, or other available remedies.

All provisions become effective October 1, 2011.
