Tempe, Arizona
Probate in Tempe.
After a death, banks and title companies may need proof of who can act for the estate. We review whether probate is needed and explain the personal representative’s duties.
Include personal and digital property in the inventory
An estate in Tempe may include a rented apartment, personal belongings, and online financial accounts rather than a house. Keep the lease and account records with the will. The absence of real estate does not by itself answer who can collect property, deal with creditors, or close accounts.

Yes. The value, ownership, beneficiaries, and available transfer procedures for the remaining assets still need to be considered.
Finding the will does not by itself give you authority to transfer estate property. First confirm the proper process, who may act, and which debts and notices need attention.
