Rule 43. Duties of Investigators

(a) Initial Training. Before being appointed as an investigator under A.R.S. §§ 14-5303(C), 14-5407(B), or 36-540(G), the person must first complete a training course prescribed by the Supreme Court. The Supreme Court will issue a certificate of completion. Unless the investigator is a full-time court employee, the investigator must file a copy of the certificate in each probate case in which the investigator is appointed. (b) Later Required Training. Any person who continues to serve as a court-appointed investigator must complete an additional training course prescribed by the Supreme Court every 5 years and, unless the investigator is a full-time court employee, the investigator must file a copy of the certificate of completion in each probate case in which the investigator is appointed.
