Connecticut law

Real Estate Laws in Connecticut.

Connecticut real-estate law runs primarily through Title 47 of the Connecticut General Statutes. Connecticut is a judicial-foreclosure state, which means lenders must proceed through the Superior Court — usually by strict foreclosure or foreclosure by sale — to enforce a mortgage. This makes Connecticut foreclosure practice distinctly court-centered relative to most states.
