Why You Need a Living Trust in Arizona
Many Arizona homeowners begin with a simple Will, not realizing it won't keep their family out of probate court. In Arizona, estates valued over $100,000 must go through probate: a public, expensive, and time-consuming process that can last 12-18 months.
A properly established and funded Living Trust in Arizona allows your assets to transfer directly to your beneficiaries without court involvement, saving thousands in legal fees and months of delays.
