Attorney ProfileArizona Probate, Estate Planning, and Tax Law — A Short Guide
Arizona families usually come to this firm with one of three needs: settling an estate through probate or a small-estate procedure, putting a plan in place with a will, trust, and decision-making documents, or resolving a tax problem that overlaps with an estate or business. Arizona probate and trust administration are governed primarily by Title 14 of the Arizona Revised Statutes. If the decedent was domiciled in Arizona, the first informal or formal probate or appointment proceeding is generally filed in the county of domicile (A.R.S. § 14-3201). Not every asset goes through probate. Property that already has a valid beneficiary designation, is titled to pass to a surviving co-owner, or is held in a funded trust may transfer outside the probate estate, depending on how it was titled. The right path depends on the documents and the assets, which is why a review of the facts comes first.

Frequently Asked Questions
What kinds of matters does The Frei Law Firm PLLC handle?
The firm focuses on probate, estate planning, and tax law, including trusts, wills, guardianships, and probate litigation, and is available to clients across Arizona counties.
Where should an Arizona probate be filed?
Under A.R.S. § 14-3201, venue for the first informal or formal testacy or appointment proceeding is the county where the decedent was domiciled at death, or, if the decedent was not domiciled in Arizona, a county where the decedent’s property was located.
Does every estate have to go through full probate?
Not necessarily. Arizona law includes informal and formal probate, and A.R.S. § 14-3971 provides affidavit procedures for certain personal property and real property that meet statutory value, waiting-period, and other conditions. Whether those procedures fit a particular estate requires a fact-specific review.
