Frequently Asked Questions

Does Arizona require probate if a person dies with a will in Phoenix?

Having a will does not avoid probate in Arizona. Probate is required when a decedent’s estate includes assets titled solely in their name above a certain threshold. A properly funded revocable living trust, however, allows assets to pass directly to beneficiaries without court involvement—which is why many Phoenix residents choose trust-based plans.

What is the Arizona estate tax threshold in 2024?

Arizona does not impose a state-level estate tax or inheritance tax. Federal estate tax applies to estates exceeding $13.61 million per individual as of 2024. Most Arizona residents face no estate tax liability, but comprehensive planning still protects assets and simplifies administration for heirs.
