Arizona Instrument or Deed of Distribution is a legal document used in the state of Arizona to transfer assets from a deceased person's estate to their beneficiaries. It is commonly used to distribute the assets of an estate during probate proceedings. It is also known as a Distribution Agreement. There are two types of Arizona Instrument or Deed of Distribution: 1) a Simple Instrument of Distribution, which is used to transfer assets to one or more beneficiaries without court approval; and 2) a Decree of Distribution, which requires court approval. The Decree of Distribution is used when there is a dispute between the beneficiaries or when the deceased person left no will. Both types of documents include information about the deceased person's assets, their value, and the names of the beneficiaries who will receive the assets. The Instrument or Deed of Distribution is signed by the Personal Representative (or Executor) of the estate and is submitted to the court for approval.
