Estate Planning FAQ

Have Questions About Estate Planning? We’re Here to Help.

  • What is estate planning, and do I really need it?

    Estate planning is the process of legally protecting your family, your wishes, and your assets—both while you’re living and after you’re gone. If you have loved ones, own a home, care for children, or want to avoid court and confusion, estate planning is for you.

  • What’s the difference between a will and a trust?

    A will outlines your wishes and goes through probate court after your passing. A living trust helps you avoid probate entirely, making things faster and more private for your loved ones. Most families benefit from using both—each serves a unique purpose.

  • I don’t have a lot of assets. Is estate planning still important?

    Absolutely. Estate planning isn’t just for people with wealth—it’s for people who care. It’s about making decisions in advance, choosing who will raise your children, and making sure your wishes are honored no matter what life brings.

  • How often should I update my plan?

    We recommend reviewing your plan every 3 years, or sooner if there’s a major life change—like a new child, marriage, divorce, move, or inheritance. Life evolves, and your plan should too.

  • What happens if I don’t have an estate plan?

    If you pass away or become incapacitated without a plan, Arizona law decides what happens to your assets, your children, and your medical care. This often leads to confusion, court involvement, and family stress—all of which can be avoided with a proper plan.

  • Do you offer services in Spanish?

    Yes! We’re proud to serve families in both English and Spanish. Clear communication is part of planning with care, and we’re here to meet you where you are.

  • How much does estate planning cost?

    We offer flat-fee pricing based on your specific needs—no surprise bills or hourly rates. During your free consultation, we’ll walk through options and help you choose the plan that fits your family best.
