What makes a Probate necessary in Arizona?

Probate can be triggered by a single asset that passes through a decedent’s “probate estate”, in other words, through the Will or by intestate succession. For example, the decedent had been careful to designate beneficiaries on financial accounts, but had neglected to re-title his home in a way that would enable it to pass as a “non-probate” asset. It would have been relatively easy and inexpensive to handle this situation during the decedent’s lifetime. If left undone, a probate of the estate could be required.
