With or without a will, the transfer of property after death requires going to probate court. However, this can be bypassed entirely if the deceased has a valid trust in effect.
If the deceased is not survived by a spouse, the entire estate will pass to their heirs. In Arizona, “descendant” refers to all of the deceased's descendants of all generations. Therefore, the estate will go to their next of kin starting with their children.
The court will award authority to an administrator and will issue letters of administration or letters of testamentary. This authorizes the person to serve as an estate's personal representative. Some people who might otherwise be entitled to serve as an executor may be disqualified based on state law.
In the state of Arizona, estates with less than $75,000 in personal property and less than $100,000 in real property are eligible to transfer property without going through probate court. If there is a house or other property involved, you'll need to wait at least 6 months before filing a small estate affidavit.
However, if there is no will or the will is contested by potential heirs or creditors, the process can become lengthy due to court hearings and legal challenges. On average, probate in Arizona takes between six months to a year for an uncontested estate.
