Summary

The Arizona Supreme Court held that an order finally disposing of a formal probate proceeding in an unsupervised administration is appealable under A.R.S. § 12-2101(J). It distinguished the rule applicable to supervised administrations, where orders entered before the final decree are interlocutory, and vacated the dismissal of the appeal. The matter was remanded to the court of appeals for further proceedings.
