How Wills & Trusts Work Together

For comprehensive protection, most Arizona families benefit from having both documents. Here's why:

Pour-Over Will

Even with a trust, you need a will to catch any assets not transferred to the trust and name guardians for minor children.

Complete Coverage

The trust handles major assets and avoids probate, while the will provides backup protection and guardian designations.

Cost-Effective Planning

Our packages include both documents, ensuring you have complete protection with ease.

Frequently Asked Questions About Wills & Trusts

Get clear answers to common estate planning questions specific to Arizona law.

What happens if I die without a will or trust in Arizona?

Without estate planning documents, Arizona's intestate succession laws determine who inherits your assets. This often leads to unintended consequences, lengthy court proceedings, and family disputes. Your spouse and children may not receive what you intended.

How much does probate cost in Arizona?

Probate in Arizona typically costs 3-7% of your estate's value in attorney fees, court costs, and executor fees. For a $500,000 estate, that's $15,000-$35,000. A living trust avoids these costs entirely.

Can I create my own will or trust?

While Arizona law allows self-prepared documents, DIY estate planning often leads to costly mistakes. Professional planning ensures your documents are valid, comprehensive, and actually protect your family as intended.

When should I update my will or trust?

Review your estate plan every 3-5 years or after major life events: marriage, divorce, births, deaths, significant asset changes, or moving to Arizona. Our lifetime review service ensures your plan stays current.

Do I need a trust if I don't have many assets?

If your estate exceeds $75,000 in personal property or $100,000 in real estate, a trust saves your family from probate. Even modest estates benefit from the privacy and control a trust provides.

What's included in your comprehensive estate planning packages?

Our complete packages include your will, trust, powers of attorney, healthcare directives, funding assistance, lifetime reviews, and settlement support. Everything you need for comprehensive protection delivered with unmatched service.

How long does it take to set up a will or trust?

Most clients complete their estate plan in 2-3 weeks. We handle the complex legal work while keeping the process simple for you. Emergency planning is available for urgent situations.
