Informal Probate Assistance Service

Navigating the probate process after the loss of a loved one can feel overwhelming, especially when dealing with the legal and procedural requirements. Our Informal Probate Assistance Service is designed to streamline the process for you. We handle all the paperwork, track important deadlines, and communicate with the court to ensure the estate is settled as efficiently and smoothly as possible under Arizona's informal probate procedures.

What is Informal Probate?

Informal probate is a simplified legal process for administering an estate when there is no significant dispute among heirs or creditors, and the will (if one exists) is uncontested. In Arizona, this process allows the personal representative (executor) to settle the estate without extensive court oversight, saving time and expense compared to formal probate.

Why This is a Good Idea

• Simplified Process: Informal probate is faster and less costly than formal probate, but still requires proper legal filings and attention to deadlines.

• Expert Guidance: We ensure that all steps are completed accurately, reducing the risk of delays or rejected filings.

• Peace of Mind: By managing the process for you, we relieve the burden and allow you to focus on what matters most.

How Our Service Works

1. Initial Consultation and Assessment:

   • We review the estate to confirm eligibility for informal probate and determine the best course of action.

2. Preparation of All Required Paperwork:

   • We complete all necessary forms, including the application for informal probate, the notice of appointment, and any other required filings, ensuring they meet court standards.

3. Court Communication:

   • We handle all communication with the court, including filing documents, responding to requests, and obtaining the necessary orders and letters of appointment.

4. Deadline Tracking:

   • We monitor and track all legal deadlines, such as notifying creditors and beneficiaries, ensuring compliance at every step.

6. Closure of the Estate:

Important Notes
