About this site

We built this because settling an estate in Connecticut means finding five or six different kinds of professional, fast, at the worst possible time — and there was no single, plain place to find them.

What this site is

A directory of the professionals an executor or family usually needs: probate attorneys, realtors who handle estate sales, cleanout crews, estate sale companies and personal property appraisers, organized by county. Alongside the directory are short guides on how to choose each one and what they cost.

What it isn't

We're not a law firm, and nothing here is legal, tax or financial advice. We don't take your information, we don't match you with anyone, and we don't take a cut of anything you spend. You read the list and you call who you like.

How listings are chosen

We list Connecticut professionals whose work includes estates: attorneys who handle probate, agents who sell homes out of estates, cleanout and estate sale companies, and credentialed appraisers. Professionals can request a free listing, and families can suggest someone who helped them. If a listing is wrong or out of date, tell us and we'll fix it; if a professional closes or draws a credible complaint, the listing comes down.

How the site is paid for

Professionals can pay for a featured listing at the top of their county and category, limited to two per county. Featured listings are always marked. Paying never changes whether someone is listed, and a free listing is available to every qualifying professional. That's the whole model; there are no ads, no lead fees and no referral arrangements.

Who's behind it

Settle Estate CT is independently owned and operated in Connecticut. We're not affiliated with the Probate Courts, the state, or any of the professionals listed. Questions and corrections: hello@settleestatect.com.
