The Fairfield County Probate Court, Clerk of Courts Office, and Recorder's Office offer the Good Deeds Program to residents of Fairfield County and their families — to prepare now and avoid the Probate Court process later.
Two reasons to avoid Probate Court
- It can be very expensive.
- It can tie up property for many months.
This program will help you
- Transfer a vehicle or boat title into Survivorship.
- Designate beneficiaries on vehicles and boats.
- Locate and identify the type of real estate deed you have.
- Connect with local attorneys who prepare real estate Survivorship deeds.
Skip Probate — proceed straight to your intended beneficiary
The Good Deeds Program is intended to help avoid both cost and delay. Local attorneys can prepare a Survivorship deed for you.
