What are the Types of Arizona Probate Proceedings?
There are three types of probates in Arizona, informal, formal and supervised. Most Arizona probates are informal because they are usually cheaper in terms of attorneys’ fees and quicker. Not all estates, however, are eligible for informal probate. Contested estates are usually resolved in a formal probate, which can include court hearings, depositions, motions, discovery and a trial just as any other Superior Court litigation.
