Arizona Probate Dispute Advice

I bought a condo at a trustee auction here in Arizona. The former owner passed away more than a year ago, and all of her personal effects are still inside. I was told that everything left in the unit transferred with the real estate, yet the owner’s adult daughter has now surfaced.

We have spoken only once. During that brief exchange I offered to let her collect whatever personal items she feels attached to, provided she shows valid ID, but she never followed up. Instead she filed a probate case naming me, though no will exists, and a process server merely left the paperwork on my doorstep without handing it to me. She has already removed the washer-dryer set, which Arizona treats as a fixture, and the rest of the belongings are crowding my living space.

My goal is to negotiate a shared resolution rather than start an expensive fight, but I need clear, Arizona-specific guidance on:

• Whether the daughter has any legal claim to the contents after a trustee sale
• How to respond (or move to dismiss) a probate action that may have been improperly served
• The correct way to give written notice, set a deadline, and begin charging reasonable storage fees—or, if appropriate, to dispose of or donate the items lawfully
• Draft language for any letters or court filings that will speed up closure

I’m looking for concise, actionable advice and, if possible, template documents so I can end this matter quickly and stay compliant with Arizona property and probate laws.
