Frequently Asked Questions About Arizona Wills

In Arizona, you need 2 witnesses to sign your will. Witnesses must be adults (18+) who are present when you sign your will.

No, a notary is not required for your will to be valid in Arizona. However, having a notary sign a self-proving affidavit can make probate easier.

Yes, Arizona recognizes holographic (handwritten) wills if they meet certain requirements, typically that the material provisions are in the testator's handwriting.

You must be at least 18 years old to create a valid will in Arizona.

Yes, you can modify your will at any time while you are alive and mentally competent. You can either create a new will that revokes the old one, or add a codicil (amendment) to make minor changes. Any changes must follow the same signing requirements as the original will.

If you die without a will (intestate) in Arizona, your assets will be distributed according to state intestacy laws. Generally, your spouse and children inherit first. If you have no spouse or children, assets pass to parents, siblings, or more distant relatives. The court will also appoint someone to manage your estate.

Why Create a Will in Arizona?

Without a will, Arizona intestacy laws decide who inherits your property. This often means assets go to relatives you may not have chosen, while close friends, partners, or charities receive nothing.

A will lets you name guardians for minor children, specify who gets heirlooms and keepsakes, and choose an executor you trust to carry out your wishes. It also helps prevent family disputes by making your intentions clear.

Arizona requires 2 witnesses to sign your will. Our form includes a self-proving affidavit that can speed up probate by eliminating the need for witnesses to appear in court.

Creating a will is one of the most meaningful things you can do for the people you love. It takes just 15-20 minutes and ensures your legacy is protected.
