Wills, trusts, and powers of attorney

A will lets you name who should receive probate assets and nominate a guardian for minor children. A revocable living trust can help assets transferred into it pass outside probate. A financial power of attorney and health care documents let you choose who can act for you if you cannot make decisions yourself.

If your plan involves a home, retirement accounts, or a business, we look at how those assets are titled and who is named to receive them. We can also discuss tax considerations that may affect your plan. Explore our Arizona estate planning services.

Does a will avoid probate in Gilbert?

A will alone does not avoid probate under Arizona law. A properly funded trust, valid beneficiary designations, and survivorship ownership can help particular assets pass outside probate. The right combination depends on what you own and whom you want to provide for. See Arizona’s will and probate statute and its nonprobate transfer statute.

What should I have ready for the first call?

A general idea of what you own, who you want to provide for, and any existing wills or trusts is enough to start. If you have recently moved to Arizona, remarried, or bought a home, mention it so we can discuss what may need updating. Ask our team how to share documents securely before sending them.
