How long does a probate or a trust administration take?

It typically takes at least five months to close a probate or complete a trust administration, but every situation is has its own unique set of circumstances.  For both a probate and a trust administration, you have to wait until the four month creditor period (A.R.S. 14-3801) is over before distributing assets.

If you hire a probate attorney, the length of time it takes to close your probate or trust administration will depend on that law firm’s caseload; the busier the law firm, the longer it will take.  Having a small caseload, Arizona Probate, LLC should be able to close your probate or trust administration in a more timely manner.  The length of time also depends on the cooperation of the personal representative or trustee.
