Estate Planning FAQ

What Tucson Families Want to Know

  • Why is estate planning important for Tucson families?

    Estate planning gives Tucson families control, clarity, and protection—before a crisis ever happens. If you pass away or become incapacitated without a plan, Arizona courts decide what happens next. That can mean delays, added costs, and decisions that don’t reflect your values. With a solid plan, you keep your family out of court and out of conflict.

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

    A will names guardians and outlines asset distribution but goes through probate, which can be public and slow. A revocable living trust avoids probate and gives your family quicker, more private access to what you’ve left behind. Many Tucson families use both together for comprehensive protection. We’ll help you understand what fits your life best.

  • Is estate planning just for wealthy families?

    Not at all. If you have kids, own a home, care for a parent, or simply want to be prepared—estate planning is for you. In Tucson, more and more middle-income families are creating plans to protect what they’ve earned. It’s not about how much you have—it’s about making sure it’s passed on with purpose.

  • How often should I update my estate plan in Arizona?

    We recommend reviewing your estate plan every 1–3 years, or anytime something major changes—like a new child, a home purchase, or a divorce. Tucson families often experience life shifts that impact their legal needs, and an outdated plan can cause problems later. Arizona laws and your personal circumstances both evolve over time. Regular updates keep your plan accurate, effective, and aligned with what matters most.

  • Do you offer Spanish-speaking estate planning services in Tucson?

    Yes. We proudly serve both English- and Spanish-speaking families throughout Tucson and Southern Arizona. We know how important it is to understand your options clearly, and we never want language to be a barrier. Every part of our process is built to make you feel informed, respected, and supported.
