Losing a Spouse/Parent


 Probating an estate in Arizona is far less complicated and expensive than in many other states.  While the majority of states have adopted the Uniform Probate Code and abolished their estate and inheritance taxes, there are still about 20 states that charge heirs for the privilege of inheriting even small estates.   Arizona has no estate or inheritance tax.  Federal law allows an individual dying in 2017 to leave up to $5.49 million dollars to heirs with no federal estate or gift tax penalty.
