There are more changes coming for the towns probate court. Though the probate court merged with Colchester's several years ago it appears that there will be further consolidation coming.
Last year it was revealed by the states Probate Court Administrator that the Probate Court system was going to be running a deficit of about 5 million dollars in this fiscal year. In a attempt to save money the State Legislature proposed a significant consolidation of the courts from 117 individual courts to about 50. Each court was to serve between 50-70,000 people.
The Probate Assembly has approved a map that consolidates Lebanon and Colchester's court into a court that would serve Glastonbury, Marlborough, Hebron, Colchester, Lebanon and East Haddam. The plan is going to be presented to the Legislature on September 15 for approval but there is some concern regarding the combination of Glastonbury with Colchester and there may be changes to this consolidation plan.
