Estate planning is the process of creating documentation of your instructions for your assets and your care, upon your incapacitation or death.
What Is Estate Planning?
Estate planning is the process of creating the documentation that identifies your plans and instructions for your assets and your care upon incapacitation or death. We believe that through this process, you can leave more than paperwork; you can leave a legacy. Family stories, recipes, photos, and similar information make up your legacy to pass along to future generations.

Proper estate planning can:
- Minimize taxes, court costs, and legal fees
- Include instructions for your care if you become incapacitated
- Include instructions for passing on your assets
- Include life insurance, disability insurance, and long-term care insurance
- Name a guardian for your children
- Provide for the transfer of your business(es)
- Provide for loved ones in various situations
- Better preserve your estate
- Avoid family disputes
There are various components to an estate plan. A will names the persons who will inherit your property after your death. If you do not have a will, the State of Arizona decides who gets your property. In a will you can also designate guardians for any minor children. If you have significant assets, you may want to consider a living trust. With a living trust, the assets owned by the trust do not go through probate so you can control who receives these assets and when after your death they receive the assets. Your estate plan may also include health care powers of attorney and a living will to ensure that your health care wishes will be properly carried out.
Our primary goals are to help individuals and families:
- Develop a unique plan that works
- Avoid family disputes, excessive taxes, and court hassles and
- Preserve our clients' legacy and assets
