Sec. 45a-661. (Formerly Sec. 45-77a). Transfer of records upon relocation of
person under representation. When any person under voluntary or involuntary representation becomes a settled inhabitant of any town in the state in a probate district other
than the one in which a conservator was appointed, and is an actual resident in such
district, the court of probate in which the conservator was appointed shall, upon motion
of the conservator, the person under conservatorship, the first selectman or the chief
executive officer of the town in which the person under conservatorship resides or the
husband or wife or a relative of the person under conservatorship, transfer the file to
the probate district in which the person under conservatorship resides at the time of the
application. A transfer of the file shall be accomplished by the probate court in which
the conservator was originally appointed by making copies of all recorded documents
in the court and certifying each of them and then causing them to be delivered to the
court for the district in which the person under conservatorship resides. When the transfer
is made, the court of probate in which the person under conservatorship resides at the
time of transfer shall thereupon assume jurisdiction over the conservatorship and all
further accounts shall be filed with such court.
