Real Estate Successor Affidavit Service

Handling real estate after the loss of a loved one can be overwhelming, especially when trying to navigate the legal requirements. Our Real Estate Successor Affidavit Service helps Arizona residents efficiently transfer ownership of real property without going through the probate process, provided the property’s equity is below the state limit and more than six months have passed since the decedent’s death.

What is a Real Estate Successor Affidavit?

A Real Estate Successor Affidavit is a legal document used in Arizona to claim ownership of real property valued below the state’s threshold for small estates. This process allows the rightful heir to transfer title without the expense and delay of formal probate proceedings.

Why This is a Good Idea

• Avoids Probate: Simplifies the transfer of real property, bypassing the lengthy and costly probate process.

• Efficient Resolution: Allows heirs to take ownership of the property in a timely manner after the 6-month waiting period.

• Cost-Effective: Ideal for estates with limited equity, ensuring the process remains manageable and affordable.

How Our Service Works

1. Eligibility Review:

   • We assess the property to confirm it qualifies for the Real Estate Successor Affidavit process (below the equity limit and 6+ months since death).

2. Document Preparation:

   • We prepare the necessary affidavit with all required legal details to ensure compliance with Arizona law.

3. Submission Assistance:

   • We guide you through the process of signing and notarizing the affidavit, and assist with submitting it to the appropriate county recorder’s office.

Important Notes

• Court Fees and Recording Costs: These fees are separate and will depend on the specific county and property.
