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?
