Legal Question in Wills and Trusts in Arizona

You should take action immediately to get the answers to your question. Wills are not generally recorded or otherwise public and thus, you and the other heirs can open a probate case without a Will, and this will cause that child to come forward with the Will, if there is one. That child is not the executor until a court appoints the child to serve as such. That would require a probate to be opened and notice to be given to all interested parties, the heirs at law and creditors. The person appointed executor is required to give notice to creditors. This way you will find out about the estate and perhaps you can be appointed executor, if the judge decides that way.
