Legal Question in Wills and Trusts in Arizona

My father died a week ago in the state of Arizona. He owned an extensive coin collection. I told his caretaker/friend that the only thing I wanted was his coin collection. She said he wanted it to go to her grandson. What are my options?

If you father died with a Will, then the Will determines who inherits his estate and its assets. If he died without a Will, then the caretaker has no right to any of his property. You should take immediate action to make sure that his property, assets and cash, do not "disappear" while you take action to get legal authority to probate/administer the estate. You should get legal counsel immediately to learn what action you need to take to do this.
