Required Documents

  • County Superior Court probate packet or current probate forms

    The Arizona Judicial Branch publishes generic probate forms and warns that each court may have preferred forms. Start with the county clerk or court packet before filing.

  • Certified death certificate

    Arizona small-estate real-property affidavits require a certified death certificate attachment. Probate filings and asset transfers commonly require certified copies; verify accepted copy count with the county court, recorder, clerk, or holder.

  • Original will and codicils

    If a will exists, confirm county instructions for filing the original will with the Superior Court or attaching it to a qualifying real-property affidavit claim by devise.

  • Probate Information Form for Decedent's Estate(Form 11 / AOCPBPAFORM11F)

    Use when required by the court for a decedent's estate matter; county forms and filing counters may add local instructions.

  • Order to Personal Representative(Form 1 / AOCPBPAFORM1F)

    The court enters an order directing fiduciary duties after appointment. Treat it as an appointment-stage document, not a user-created filing packet.

  • Notice, waiver, consent, and proof-of-service materials

    Notice and waiver requirements depend on the probate path, interested persons, county packet, and court orders. Verify before filing.
