Plain-English guides to the law. General information, not legal advice.

Asset Protection Planning in Arizona
Arizona asset protection involves layering — exemption planning, business entities, retirement accounts, and (for some) Domestic Asset Protection Trusts (DAPTs) in DAPT-friendly states.
Blended Family Estate Planning in Arizona
Arizona blended families need careful estate planning to avoid disinheriting biological children when surviving spouse remarries — QTIP trusts, life insurance, and specific structures address the conflict.
Business Succession Planning in Arizona
Arizona business succession requires coordinated estate + business planning — buy-sell agreements, life insurance funding, key-person insurance, and gradual transition plans. Without it, families lose businesses to taxes, disputes, or chaos.
Charitable Trusts in Arizona
Arizona charitable trusts combine philanthropy with tax planning. Charitable Remainder Trusts (CRTs) and Charitable Lead Trusts (CLTs) provide income / estate / gift tax benefits.
Digital-Asset Estate Planning in Arizona
Arizona digital-asset planning is governed by RUFADAA (adopted in 48 states) — fiduciaries can access digital accounts only if user explicitly consented. Without planning, families lose access to email, photos, crypto, and online accounts.
Spouse's Elective Share in Arizona
Arizona elective share: Community property state — surviving spouse owns 1/2 of community automatically.
Estate-Tax Planning in Arizona
Arizona estates may face federal estate tax (40% above ~$13.99M / individual in 2025) plus state estate or inheritance tax — most estates use lifetime gifting + trusts to minimize tax.
Guardianship and Conservatorship in Arizona
Arizona guardianship cases — for minors, incapacitated adults, or both — are heard in Superior Court (Probate Division). Process requires petition, evaluation, hearing, ongoing reporting.
Healthcare Directives in Arizona
Arizona healthcare directives: Health Care Power of Attorney + Living Will + Mental Health Care POA.
Heirs' Property in Arizona
Arizona heirs' property — land passed without a will or proper estate planning, owned by multiple heirs as tenants-in-common — has caused significant land loss in Black + low-income families. UPHPA partition reform helps.
Intestate Succession in Arizona: What Happens If You Die Without a Will
If you die in Arizona without a will, the state's intestate succession law decides who gets what — not you. Spouse takes ALL the community property; separate property is split between spouse and children if any children are not also the spouse's.
Living Trusts in Arizona
A revocable living trust avoids probate, maintains privacy, and lets you control how your assets pass at death. Estates over $75K personal or $100K real estate typically benefit most.

Do I need an estate lawyer to write a will?
