Please review the following descriptions of the most common types of estate correspondence you may receive or need to send: 1.

In this letter, the attorney formally announces their role as legal counsel, outlines the scope of representation, and establishes the attorney-client relationship. 2. Notice to Creditors: When administering an estate, it is necessary to inform any known or potential creditors about the death of the decedent. The notice to creditors letter notifies them of the probate proceedings, providing them a deadline within which to file their claims against the estate. 3. Beneficiary Notification Letter: Addressed to the beneficiaries, this letter informs them of their entitlement and respective share in the estate. It outlines the steps involved in the probate process, the estimated timeline, and emphasizes the importance of maintaining open channels of communication. 4. Inventory/Accounting Correspondence: The attorney may need to prepare and send letters regarding the inventory of assets and financial accounting of the estate. These letters typically provide a comprehensive list of all assets, debts, and income received and disbursed during the administration period. The inventory and accounting correspondence ensures transparency and helps to settle any potential disputes. 5. Letter to Government Agencies/Institutions: In certain cases, the attorney may be required to correspond with government agencies or financial institutions to transfer assets, update ownership records, or address matters relating to taxes, insurance, retirement accounts, or other legal requirements. 6. Letter to Sell/Rents Assets: When selling or renting out estate assets such as real estate, vehicles, or other valuable possessions, an attorney may draft letters to prospective buyers or tenants. These letters outline the terms of the sale or lease, payment instructions, and any relevant legal provisions. 7. Letter of Distribution: Once all necessary processes, including creditor claims, taxes, and court approval, have been completed, the attorney will draft a letter of distribution. This document formally notifies beneficiaries that they are about to receive their inheritance and should provide instructions for the distribution process. It is important to note that these are just some of the more common Arizona sample letters for estate administration, and depending on the complexity of the estate and unique circumstances involved, additional correspondence may be required.
