How Probate Laws Work In Arizona

Probate is the process by which a deceased person’s assets are transferred to their heirs. The deceased person’s will is examined by a probate registrar to determine whether it is legal and admissible in court. If it is not legal, Arizona’s state laws will control the process and the transfer of a deceased person’s estate will be handled in an extensive court process. While probate can be long and expensive, it prevents fraud in the distribution of a person’s estate plan after their death.
