True or False: In Arizona inheritance laws, children conceived before marriage are not considered descendants. 🤔 False! Arizona inheritance laws include children conceived before marriage as qualifying descendants. This means that whether your kids were born before or after marriage, they are entitled to inherit from you. Along with adopted children, grandchildren, parents, and siblings, they are recognized as your heirs. 💖🏡 Remember, having a valid will is the best way to ensure your wishes are followed. Without one, the state’s intestate succession laws decide how your property is divided, which might not align with your wishes. Want to learn more about protecting your family's future?
