Appointment of Personal Representative and Admission of Will (if applicable)

You may use the forms on this page if the following factors apply to your situation :
  • You are related to a person who died or you have a legal interest in the person's property, AND
  • The person had a will or did not have a will, AND
  • The person died more than 120 hours ago, but less than 2 years ago,* AND
  • You want to file court papers to be appointed the Personal Representative of the estate.

* There are certain limited exceptions to the two-year limitation for informal probate listed in Arizona Revised Statutes (A.R.S.) Title 14 § 3108. An attorney may be of assistance in determining whether your situation qualifies for one of the exceptions or with handling the more complex "formal" probate process for which forms and instructions are not available from the court.

Once you are done with the documents below, you're ready for Part 2 - The Appointment, Notice of Appointment, Inventory and Appraisement.
