Answer: You may need to look into a probate attorney.  There is an article on the front page of AzLawHelp.org regarding Probate.  You can read the article at:  http://azlawhelp.org/articles_info.cfm?mc=26&sc=127&articleid=330.  An attorney can help you to decide what you need in order to take care of the accounts and how to access them.
