Probate

Probate is a process to obtain the court’s authority to appoint a person or entity as the “Personal Representative” or “Executor” of the Estate of a deceased person. 


How much court involvement there may be depends on the situation.


Arizona allows for informal probates when there is an original, valid, Last Will & Testament and there is no contested litigation regarding the estate. Arizona also has informal probates when there is no Last Will & Testament, but there is written agreement about who will serve as the Personal Representative. An informal probate will not require any court hearings, unless there are contested issues that later arise.


In Arizona, if only a copy of a Last Will & Testament can be found, then a formal probate will be required. In a formal probate, a court hearing will need to be scheduled so the Court can determine if the copy of the Will is valid.

Unlike in the movies, there is no “reading of the Will” by an attorney. Those entitled to notice will receive a copy of the Last Will & Testament and any relevant court papers. 


The Personal Representative will need to watch or download the court required training.


There will be certain court documents to be completed along with notices that will be provided to the appropriate people and published in the newspaper.

Trust Administration

Typically, the administration of a trust does not require court intervention. Trust administration is the process where the Trustee follows the instructions set forth in the Trust document. The Trustee may be required to keep the beneficiaries informed about the assets and debts of the trust, the terms of the trust as to such beneficiaries, and other important information. Every trust is different. Think of the trust document as the instruction manual for the trustee.
