Presumption of Death in CT

Any person who has been absent from his home and unheard of for a period of seven or more years shall be presumed to be dead……Conn.Gen. Stat. Sec. 45a-329

This statute exists to prevent property from going to waste.

So if you are going on a long vacation, make sure to email, write, or phone home every six years or so.

I hope to be back with a full entry on Friday.
