Common questions
How accurate is this estimate?
It is an educational projection based on Arizona statutes and current professional rates. Actual costs vary with court rulings, creditor claims, and any disputes. Use it for planning, not as a binding quote.
Does this include attorney fees?
Yes. We estimate attorney fees for both informal and formal probate using customary Arizona rates. You can adjust the hourly rate inside the calculator.
Can I avoid probate entirely?
Often, yes. A funded living trust, transfer-on-death deeds, and beneficiary designations can move assets outside probate. Our partner attorneys can review your situation at a free workshop.
