Estate Inventory, Spouses Personal Items Included?

What is the name of your state (only U.S. law)? Arizona

My dad died a year ago and his estate went through a will contest and in the end I was appointed personal representative and the will entered formal probate. I submitted an inventory and now one of the heirs is contesting the inventory claiming that I have left off some of my living mother's personal possessions including her wedding ring and an expensive watch. These items were all acquired during my parents marriage. Even though Arizona is a community property state, are a surviving spouse's personal possessions (like her wedding ring and watch) part of the dead spouse's estate?

Is this the same whacked-out half-brother that tried to file a beneficiary deed after your father passed away?

Or are you dealing with a barrel-full of loonies?

The very same! You have a pretty good memory.

So what is your take? Is a surviving spouse's personal property part of her deceased spouse's estate? What is the defense for this? We have a hearing in 6 weeks for this and a number of other equally ridiculous claims. I think that it is pure harassment but it doesn't hurt to be prepared.
