In this episode of The Berk Brief, Kent Berk explains how Arizona’s intestate succession laws determine who inherits and who handles the estate when there’s no will. These default rules can lead to surprises, especially in blended families or second marriages.
You’ll learn:
- Who inherits under Arizona’s intestacy laws
- How the family structure affects distribution
- What happens when there’s no surviving spouse or children
- Why disputes are common in these situations
- Who the court appoints to manage the estate
- Why you shouldn’t navigate intestate probate alone
Intestate estates often lead to confusion, conflict, and litigation. At Berk Law Group, we help clients across Arizona untangle these tricky cases and make sure rightful heirs are protected.
