The Claim After A Death
A.R.S. 36-2935 — a claim against the estate, a lien, and notice within three months after the death
The claim and the lien. The administration may file a claim against a member's estate to recover paid assistance, and is entitled to a lien on the member's property for it, imposed in a manner consistent with federal law.
Three months. A member's personal representative notifies the administration of the estate or property within three months after the death if the member was at least fifty-five years of age and the administration has not already filed a claim.
The federal law the section follows, the agency's own rules on hardship, and probate procedure are not on this page. Whether a particular estate owes a claim, or qualifies for a waiver, is a question for a licensed Arizona attorney.
