When there are legal actions stemming from the decedent’s death, or to determine title to property alleged to belong to the estate.

What happens in the Probate of a decedent’s estate?

There are two types of Probate in Arizona, informal and formal.
In an informal procedure, the most common, the Personal Representative is appointed right away.
If the decedent’s estate is not complicated, Probate may be completed for the most part in about five months.
Distribution of the estate usually occurs after creditors have received the notice required by law.
