Estate Planning – Phoenix Metro Area

Estate planning isn’t just about preparing for the end of life — it’s about taking control of your future and protecting the people you love. Whether you want to preserve your assets, provide for your family, or make your medical wishes clear, a thoughtful estate plan brings peace of mind and security.

At Lawyers For Less, our Phoenix estate planning attorneys help individuals and families across Arizona create personalized plans that reflect their goals, values, and financial situations. We proudly serve the entire Phoenix metropolitan area, including Scottsdale, Mesa, Chandler, Gilbert, Tempe, Glendale, Peoria, and surrounding communities.

Our approach is simple: we listen carefully, explain your options clearly, and deliver legally sound documents that protect your assets, estate, and legacy — without unnecessary complexity or cost.

Why Estate Planning Matters

Estate planning allows you to decide who inherits your property, who manages your affairs, and how important decisions are made if you become incapacitated. Without a valid estate plan, Arizona estate law — not your personal wishes — determines how your property is distributed and who makes decisions for you.

Under Title 14 of the Arizona Revised Statutes, which governs wills, trusts, probate, guardianship, and conservatorship, the process can be complex. Our estate planning attorneys in Arizona make these laws work in your favor — minimizing court involvement, reducing taxes, and protecting your loved ones from unnecessary financial and emotional stress.

Wills – Secure Your Legacy

A Last Will and Testament is the foundation of every estate plan. It ensures your assets go where you want them to and that your loved ones are cared for. Our wills and trusts lawyers in Arizona help you:

• Specify how your assets will be distributed

• Appoint a personal representative (executor)

• Nominate guardians for your minor children

• Provide for pets or special gifts

We ensure your will complies with A.R.S. §14-2502 and truly reflects your current wishes. Our attorneys also review and update outdated wills — because life changes, and your estate plan should too.

Trusts – Avoid Probate and Protect Privacy

A revocable living trust allows your estate to pass to your heirs smoothly and privately, avoiding the time and expense of probate. Our living trust attorneys in Phoenix AZ help clients with:

• Revocable living trusts (flexible and amendable)

• Irrevocable trusts (for asset protection and tax savings)

• Special needs trusts (to protect benefits for disabled beneficiaries)

• Testamentary trusts (created through wills for minors or others)

We handle trust funding, ensuring all your assets — real estate, bank accounts, and investments — are properly titled. Under A.R.S. §14-10401 et seq., Arizona recognizes many trust options, and we’ll help you choose the one that best fits your needs.

Powers of Attorney – Protect Your Interests

A power of attorney (POA) gives someone you trust the ability to manage your affairs if you’re unable to. Without one, your family could face a lengthy guardianship or conservatorship process.

We prepare:

• Durable financial powers of attorney – for managing property and finances

• Healthcare powers of attorney – for medical decision-making

• Mental health powers of attorney – for specific treatment choices

These documents meet all Arizona legal requirements under A.R.S. §36-3221, keeping your affairs in safe hands no matter what happens.

Advance Healthcare Directives and Living Wills

A living will in Arizona helps ensure your medical preferences are honored if you become unable to communicate. Under A.R.S. §36-3261, this includes your wishes about life support and medical treatment.

Our attorneys create compassionate, clear directives so your loved ones and doctors know exactly what you want. With proper planning, your family never has to guess — they’ll have confidence in your decisions.

Estate Tax and Asset Protection Planning

While Arizona has no state estate tax, federal estate taxes may apply to larger estates. Our estate planning lawyers in Arizona help you minimize tax exposure through trusts, charitable giving, and lifetime transfers.

We also assist with asset protection strategies to safeguard your property from creditors or lawsuits — always staying compliant with both Arizona and federal law.

Estate Planning for Blended Families and Complex Estates

Modern Arizona families often include stepchildren, second marriages, and shared assets. Our Phoenix estate planning attorneys specialize in creating fair, balanced plans that protect all parties and prevent disputes.

Every plan is tailored to your family’s structure and future — ensuring your intentions are respected and your relationships preserved.

Updating and Reviewing Your Estate Plan

Estate planning isn’t a one-time event — it’s an ongoing process. We recommend reviewing your Arizona estate plan every few years or after major life changes such as marriage, divorce, new children, or relocation.

Regular updates keep your documents legally sound and aligned with the most recent Arizona estate laws.
