The Arizona Application for Appointment as Personal Representative is a legal document used to appoint an individual to serve as representative of a deceased person's estate. This document is typically used in probate proceedings and allows the chosen representative to have control over the estate for the duration of the probate process. The application must be completed and filed with the court in the county in which the decedent resided. There are two types of Arizona Application for Appointment as Personal Representative: for independent administration and for dependent administration. An independent administration is one in which the representative is authorized to manage the estate without judicial supervision. A dependent administration is one in which the court must approve all decisions made by the representative.
