Probate appraisals in Gilbert, AZ

Does an Arizona probate inventory need a formal appraisal?

Arizona law says a personal representative's inventory states fair market value as of the date of death and allows a qualified, disinterested appraiser to be employed. The attorney or personal representative decides whether an appraisal is needed for their inventory. This is general information, not legal advice.
