Arizona probate is handled by the Superior Court (Probate Division) in the county where the decedent was domiciled. Authority to manage estate assets is documented by Letters of Personal Representative. The full probate process under A.R.S. Title 14 (Trusts, Estates and Protective Proceedings) typically takes 4–12 months; informal probate can issue Letters in 2–4 weeks, but sale of real estate by the personal representative does not have to wait for the entire estate to close.
Not required for informal probate; required for formal/contested. For most estates with real property in Arizona, retaining counsel is the standard practice because the deed transfer, lien clearance, and any tax considerations are simpler with attorney coordination.
Small estate procedures: Real property under $100,000 (Affidavit of Succession); personal property under $75,000. These provide simplified paths when the estate qualifies — generally limited to personal property, with real estate following standard probate.
Our role: we sign a purchase contract with the personal representative, hold the price firm during the wait for Letters and through any creditor-claim period, then close 7–14 days after authority and clear title are confirmed. We coordinate with your probate attorney and the Arizona title company.

Our 3-Step AZ Probate Sale Process
Coordinate With the AZ Personal Representative
We meet with the executor or administrator, walk through the property, and review the estate's posture — outstanding debts, any contested claims, beneficiary alignment. We can assess remotely if the PR is out of state.
Written Cash Offer With AZ-Specific Probate Timing
You get a written offer in 24–48 hours. The contract anticipates the 4–12 months; informal probate can issue Letters in 2–4 weeks probate timeline and holds price firm during the wait. We do not require court approval of the sale unless your attorney determines it's needed under Arizona law.
Close With Letters of Personal Representative in Hand
Title company confirms Letters and clear title, settles any liens or estate debts at closing, and wires proceeds to the estate account. The PR then distributes to beneficiaries per the will or Arizona intestacy rules.
Frequently Asked Questions
Do I need court approval to sell Arizona probate real estate?
It depends. Personal representatives operating under Letters of Personal Representative with full powers (granted by the will or by statute) generally do not need separate court approval for routine sales. Dependent administrations, will contests, or specific Arizona statutes may require court approval — your attorney will confirm.
How long does Arizona probate take from filing to Letters?
4–12 months; informal probate can issue Letters in 2–4 weeks. The wait for Letters specifically is typically 2–8 weeks after filing depending on whether the probate is informal or formal, contested or uncontested. Real-estate sales can be signed in expectation of Letters and closed once issued.
What if the estate is being challenged?
A will contest or dependent administration adds time and may require court approval of any real-estate sale. We work in both postures — uncontested estates close fastest, contested estates can still close once the court has resolved the dispute or approved the sale.
Do you buy in all Arizona counties?
Yes — including Maricopa, Pima, Pinal, Yavapai, Mohave, and other counties across the state. Our purchase process is the same statewide; we use a Arizona title company experienced with probate closings.
Will I owe estate or inheritance tax in Arizona?
Most states (including Arizona) repealed their estate tax in recent years. Federal estate tax applies only to estates over the federal exemption (~$13.6M in 2024). Arizona inheritance tax considerations vary by beneficiary class in some states — your attorney will confirm based on the estate.
