An Arizona Claim Against the Estate is a legal process used to recover debts owed to an individual or business entity from the deceased's estate. This type of claim is typically filed with the probate court in the county where the deceased lived, and is used to collect money owed for unpaid debts, medical expenses, funeral expenses, and other unpaid bills. The claim must be filed within three months of the deceased's death, and must include all relevant information regarding the debt. There are three types of Arizona Claim Against the Estate. The first is a General Claim, which is any claim that is not specifically excluded by Arizona law. The second is a Priority Claim, which is a debt that must be paid before any other debts, such as taxes or funeral expenses. The third is a Secured Claim, which is a debt that is backed by collateral, such as a mortgage or car loan.
