Re: Application for executor of estate

No probate is needed if the estate assets are valued less than the statutory threshold, $100,00 in California, and $50,000 of personal property and $75,000 of real estate in Arizona. The applicable law is the state of residence of the decedent.

See an estate attorney. If Arizona was the state of residence, we offer free, no obligation consultations at 480.835.1500.

Best regards.

you will likely need to file a petition for probate with the superior court in the county in which the decendent resided.
