Protect your children, grandchildren and other heirs from creditors and probate

Arizona probate legal fees can run in the thousands, and probate cases, including the terms of the will, are public record.  A will does not avoid probate.  Make an estate plan that avoids probate and passes your assets privately and securely to your intended beneficiaries. 

 

Name guardians to protect your minor children in the event of your death. 

Protect your preferences for burial, cremation, autopsy or organ donation. 

If your estate plan passes assets directly to your loved ones, then creditors, ex-spouses or poor spending habits can take them away.  Many attorneys plan this way simply because it is easier.  Make an estate plan that shields your gifts so they end up where you want. 

The effective federal estate tax rate can reach toward 55% in some situations—but the right trust can double your exemption and save your family hundreds of thousands of dollars.  Protect your legacy with advanced tax provisions. 

 

Already have a will or trust?  Your complimentary estate planning consultation includes document review: make sure your plan is up to date and functioning the way you expect.
