Can Mohave County Probate Documents Be Filed Electronically?
Mohave County participates in Arizona’s eFileAZ system for probate, but the current statewide availability chart lists probate eFiling in Mohave County for subsequent filings, rather than case initiation. The availability chart was last updated April 17, 2026, so current court instructions should be checked before filing.

Before Letters can generally be issued to a non-licensed personal representative, Arizona requires completion of Supreme Court-approved fiduciary training. The required curriculum includes the general non-licensed fiduciary overview and the personal representative training module.
Mohave County’s probate materials also direct applicants to complete the required training and file the applicable certificates with the court.
