Full "probate" is ONLY required by law if the person who dies, with or without a will, (1) owned real estate (not just a life use) that does not pass by the deed to the "surviving" joint owner, OR (2) owned $40,000 or more of other assets that also don't pass by beneficiary or joint ownership to another person.
In Connecticut, if a decedent had no solely owned real estate and the total value of all of the decedent's personal property does not exceed $40,000, the small estates procedure may be used.

The decedent may own assets exceeding $40,000 if they are in joint name(survivorship) and still qualify for this small estates.
