Informal probate requires that the deceased had a valid will at the time of death that has not been challenged and died less than 2 years before probate is opened. In an informal probate process, a personal representative is appointed by the court to administer the estate with minimal court supervision.
It can be easy to become overwhelmed with managing and balancing everything required to close out a deceased loved one's estate, especially when Arizona Probate law can be so time consuming. This is why it's highly recommended that you contact an experienced Arizona Probate lawyer.
There may be additional hearings to resolve contests, and the executor will probably need court approval before making major decisions and actions. Informal probate is obviously the quickest and can conclude in 4 – 6 months. Formal probate may take up to a year or longer.
In Arizona, probate is always required for wills and assets that aren't in a trust or included in a transfer-on-death deed. Probate is also required for large estates consisting of personal property valued at over $75,000 and real estate property valued at over $100,000.
