Legal Question in Wills and Trusts in Arizona

Brother claims sister is not decendent's child and thus not a beneficiary

I have been contacted by a person in Arizona. Father died intestate. Brother appointed Personal Representative by Court. He states that person is not the child of father.

Person contacted Probate Judge and sent a copy of birth certificate, etc.

Judge replied letter was not in proper pleading form under CP 10(a), and is unacceptable as ex parte communication. Person should file a properly supported Motion or Petition.

QUES - Where can person find proper Probate guidelines and forms on the Internet?

(Person believes not much money involved, but a major emotional issue.)

Try www.courts.net and see if the court involved has a website. If it does sometimes you can get court forms and rules of procedure off the website.
