When estate planning isn't crafted by design, it will be handled by default. If an Arizona resident dies without a valid will or trust, any assets in his or her estate will be distributed in accordance with Arizona’s laws of intestate succession. Unfortunately, in such case, who the state appoints as the personal representative and which family members receive assets may or may not bear any relation to the wishes of the decedent.
