Helping Probate The Estate Of Loved Ones

A large portion of our practice includes serving as a guide throughout the probate process in Arizona. Our attorneys can help you learn more about what property is subject to probate and what must be done to fully comply with the state’s probate laws.

Matters we help with in probate include:

• Reviewing the will put in place by the deceased
• Compiling the assets and debts belonging to the estate
• Fulfilling the various reporting requirements of probate
• Distributing property according to the terms of the will

Many of our clients in these cases live outside of Arizona, but had a loved one who passed away in the state. We know that it can be difficult to get things accomplished when you are not here in the area, and we can help. We can take care of many of the issues that are connected to probate and make things much easier for you.
