HARTFORD, Conn. (AP) - Court officials say Connecticut is now the most expensive place to die in the U.S. - at least for the wealthy - because of hefty new fees for settling estates.
Democratic Gov. Dannel P. Malloy and the Democrat-controlled legislature signed off on a plan effective July 1 that eliminated a $12,500 cap on probate court fees, cut all state government funding to probate courts and doubled the fee on estates worth more than $2 million to 0.5 percent of the value.
Takes the fun out of dying.

If your lawyer builds it right, there will be no probate costs. [:D]
Sucks to die in Conn...
Pretty much everything sucks about CT
Start by planning and completing a move out of Connecticut before you croak.
