FAQs About Wills in Oro Valley
What Thoughtful Families Want to Know
Why should I have a will if I already have a trust?
Trusts are great for avoiding probate, but they don’t replace everything a will can do. A will is still necessary to name guardians for minor children and to handle any assets not included in your trust. In Oro Valley, we often create both so your estate plan is complete. It’s about coverage, not duplication.
Can I update my will if I move or remarry?
Yes, and you should. Major life events—like a move, marriage, or the birth of a grandchild—are key times to revisit your plan. At Eréndira Castillo Law, we help Oro Valley residents keep their documents current and legally sound. Your life changes, and your will should reflect that.
How specific should my will be?
As specific as your life requires. Some Oro Valley families use wills to pass on property or accounts, while others include detailed wishes for guardianship or charitable giving. The more clear and comprehensive your plan is, the easier it will be for your loved ones. We’ll help you decide what needs to be in writing.
Is a handwritten will valid in Arizona?
It can be, but it’s risky. Arizona allows holographic (handwritten) wills under certain conditions, but they’re often challenged or incomplete. A professionally prepared will offers stronger protection and fewer legal uncertainties. We ensure your documents meet Arizona’s full legal standards.
Do you offer Spanish-language will services in Oro Valley?
Absolutely. We’re proud to provide bilingual estate planning for Oro Valley’s Spanish-speaking families. Whether you’re most comfortable planning in English or Spanish, we’re here to guide you with respect, clarity, and cultural understanding.
