Estate Planning Attorney in Scottsdale Arizona



As probate, trust, will, power of attorney, and estate planning lawyers we provide assistance with all types of estate planning techniques so you can develop a comprehensive plan for your future. A simple estate plan involves a last will and testament and healthcare planning, both of which an estate attorney can provide assistance to create. If you want to do more to protect your estate from taxes, help your heirs avoid probate, and protect your assets from creditors, an Arizona trust and estate attorney can provide you with the assistance you require.

WHY YOU NEED A SCOTTSDALE TRUST AND ESTATE LAWYER

A Scottsdale trust and estate attorney can provide you with assistance:

Determining what issues affect your estate and what should be included in your comprehensive estate plan to best address your unique needs.

Drafting a last will and testament for distribution of your assets.

Becoming a guardian to someone who is incapacitated or under the age of majority.

Creating a living will, using a durable power of attorney to appoint an agent, and otherwise taking steps to ensure you have control over future medical care you receive and decisions made on your behalf if you become incapacitated.

Planning to protect your assets and ensure Medicaid eligibility for long-term care if you must someday move to a nursing home.

Determining if a trust should be established and what types of trust are appropriate. Perhaps you need a special needs trust to protect a disabled child without putting his government benefits at risk, or a trust to ensure a spendthrift child does not squander his inheritance. Your Scottsdale estate planning attorney will explain all your options.

These are just a few of the different services a trust and estate lawyer in Scottsdale can help you with. In Scottsdale, everyone needs to plan ahead for their future, no matter how complex or how simple their estate is. You do not want to be responsible for disagreements and problems in your family after you are gone, and you don’t want to have to spend your life savings for nursing home care- so you need an estate plan.

ARIZONA LAW ON TRUST AND ESTATE PLANNING

A trust allows you to transfer ownership of assets while you are living, while a last will and testament dictate how property is to be transferred after death. If you do not have a will and you have not transferred ownership of the property to a trust, state probate laws will determine who inherits the assets. Close family members may have a claim to your assets beginning with spouses and children and moving to more distant relatives if you do not have a spouse or child.

We have offices in Phoenix, Scottsdale, and Mesa. Schedule a time to discuss how you can protect what you have worked so hard for with one of our Estate Planning Attorneys.
