A fact that a lot of people don't know: in CT, even if no probate is needed for a deceased person's estate, CT requires the filing of an estate tax return. The estate isn't taxable unless over $13 mil (as of 2024), but the estate tax return must be filed in all cases. In MA, there's no requirement to file an estate tax return unless the estate is actually taxable--but, the estate is taxable if over $2 mil.
