Real Estate Law
Real estate closings can be extremely complicated with many steps to get to a successful closing. In fact, the average real estate closing involves about 10 to 15 hours of work from “contract to closing.” Therefore, it is advisable to hire an attorney to guide you through the process making sure everything is handled correctly and “title” properly conveyed.

Probate Law
Probate is the legal process through which the decedent’s assets are distributed and debts are cleared. Generally, a decedent’s assets are distributed in accordance with their last will and testaments if one exists, or in accordance with State of Connecticut law. Whether a will exists or not, probate proceedings can be very complicated and for that reason Stephen Harding is here to help.
