Rule 30 Representation of Parties

You can represent yourself in an Arizona probate case. If you do, you must give the court your current mailing address, email address, and phone number. You also need to update the court if any of that contact information changes.

You cannot represent another person in court unless you are a licensed Arizona attorney or an out-of-state attorney who has been given special permission to practice in Arizona. This means a family member or friend cannot speak for you in court just because you trust them.

There is one exception to this rule. If you are serving as a fiduciary, such as a trustee, executor, or guardian, you can represent yourself in that role even if you are not a lawyer.
