Formal Probate
Formal probate in Tucson
If your family member has left property in Arizona, you may need certain legal documents to complete formal probate with or without a will.
We can help. At Tucson Legal Documents, LLC our team of Certified Document Preparers and paralegal staff can make sure you have well written probate documents ready for filing.
Of course, informal probate is the simplest route through probate, but if the estate is facing any legal issues then formal probate with or without a will may be required.
Formal probate is usually necessary when there’s a legal question regarding management or distribution of the estate.
For example, if one or more family members object to the appointment of another member as personal representative (executor), then the court may order that the estate be handled through formal probate procedures.
Likewise, if family members contest the will regarding distribution of assets, or if there are legal or monetary claims against the estate itself, then formal probate with or without a will may be required to ensure fairness for all.
In any event, we can help make sure that you’ll have the right documents for whichever type of probate process you need.
Plan ahead to avoid probate
