Statutory Requirements for Wills

August 28th, 2010 Leave a comment Go to comments

The right to transfer your property at death through a last will and testament is only allowed if you strictly comply with the requirements of Arizona law. 

Pursuant to Arizona Revised Statutes (A.R.S.) § 14-2501, “A person who is eighteen years of age or older and who is of sound mind may make a will.”  The “testator” is the one adopting the Will.  Arizona law recognizes essentially three types of Wills, (a) non self-proved or witnessed Wills (b) self-proved Wills; and (c) Holographic (hand-written) Wills.
