Most estates go through a process referred to as informal probate, where there is no contesting of the will, and the court simply assists in the transfer of assets.<\/p><p>Usually, the will and estate planning documents that the deceased created set forth a distribution plan for the assets. Smaller assets, such as furniture and jewelry, can be transferred to the beneficiaries. However, larger assets such as a home or savings account cannot be transferred with a will. These larger assets often require probate.<\/p><p>If an heir believes that the will is false or that an incorrect version is being used, they have the right to contest the will&#8217;s validity. When this occurs, the estate is sent to formal probate, where a judge steps in to determine the validity of the will.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-23be96c6 exad-sticky-section-no exad-glass-effect-no elementor-widget elementor-widget-heading\" data-id=\"23be96c6\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"heading.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t<h2 class=\"elementor-heading-title elementor-size-default\">Formal Probate in Arizona<\/h2>\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-6bdb95e4 exad-sticky-section-no exad-glass-effect-no elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"6bdb95e4\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<p>When a person dies without a will in place or the will is being contested, their estate is sent to formal probate, where a judge will oversee the matter. When the estate is brought into formal probate, the parties contesting the will have the opportunity to argue in court that the will is invalid.<\/p><p>To do this, the beneficiaries, with their attorneys, must offer evidence and testimony to support their claim that the will is invalid. Structural inconsistencies such as an incorrect or missing signature are easy to prove. But, proving the deceased was mentally incapable or faced undue influence while drafting the will is much harder to prove.
