Understanding Intestacy – Part 2
More Questions & Planning Choices
By The Deason Garner Law Firm
Family
What will my children/family inherit?
Arizona is a community property state. This means that the property you and
your spouse acquire during your marriage is owned jointly by the both of you.
When one spouse dies, the other automatically becomes the sole owner of all
community property, with some exceptions. Spouses also inherit a portion of
the property you acquired before your marriage, known as separate
property.
Spouses
What will my spouse inherit?
Arizona is a community property state. This means that the property you and
your spouse acquire during your marriage is owned jointly by the both of you.
When one spouse dies, the other automatically becomes the sole owner of all
community property, with some exceptions. Spouses also inherit a portion of
the property you acquired before your marriage, known as separate
property.
Escheat
Is it true that the state can inherit all my property?
Yes. Should you die leaving behind no identifiable living relatives, the state
of Arizona becomes your legal heir. Though it rarely happens, it is possible.
Choices
Is there anything I can do to avoid intestacy?
Absolutely. Creating a will allows you to make inheritance choices. You can
also choose who you want to act as your estate representative, and make
other important decisions that, should you die intestate, you would
otherwise leave up to a court or Arizona intestacy laws to decide.
