A will becomes a public record in Coconino County when it's filed for probate at the **Coconino County Superior Court Clerk** in Flagstaff (200 N San Francisco St, Flagstaff AZ 86001, phone 928-679-7600). Until that filing, a will is private. Three steps to obtain a copy. (1) **Find the case** at the Arizona Judicial Branch public access portal https://apps.supremecourt.az.gov/publicaccess/ — choose Coconino County, search by deceased's name. (2) **Order the copy** from the Clerk: certified copy is **$30 first page + $0.50 each additional**; uncertified copy $0.50 per page. **Probate filing fees** for context: Petition for Formal Probate $351, Application for Informal Probate $176 (so most simple estates use Informal). (3) **Visit in person** if the case is older than 20 years and not yet digitized — the Clerk's archive is at 200 N San Francisco St, hours 8:00 a.m. – 5:00 p.m. Mon–Fri. Wills filed before 1990 may require a physical archive search ($28 records-search fee). **Important**: a will alone does not transfer property — it has to go through probate to be enforceable.
