Free Arizona Estate Planning 101 Education Classes - Wills & Trusts Explained

Estate planning is a subject that is complex.  It can be overwhelming, which is why Arizona estate planning lawyer Richard Keyt gives free 1.5 hour educational classes each month.  Rick's introduction to estate planning mini-course (EP 101) is called "Family Protection & Peace of Mind."  Rick explains in English (not legalese) why everybody who has loved ones (regardless of the value of their estate) needs a good estate plan, especially people who have minor children or substantial assets.  Learn about estate planning disasters of the rich and famous (including Anna Nicole Smith).

Rick gives his free estate planning class the first Tuesday night of every month from 7 - 8:30 pm at his office at 3001 East Camelback, Suite 130, Phoenix, Arizona 85016.  Classes are limited to 12 people so there is ample time for everybody to ask questions.

bullet

How a good trust-based estate plan protects your family and loved ones.

bullet

Revocable Living Trust:   What is it and why is it the key to your estate plan and so important for your family and loved ones?

bullet

Personal Asset Trusttm:  What is it and why your revocable living trust needs an individual a PAT for each of your beneficiaries.

bullet

Will:  What is it and how does it relate to your trust?

bullet

Living Will:  What is it and how this document avoids the Terry Shaivo problem when one family member wants to pull the plug on life support and another doesn't.

bullet

Financial Power of Attorney:  What is it and how can this document save your family thousands of dollars and avoid going to court if you become incapacitated.

bullet

Healthcare Power of Attorney:  What is it and how can this document save your family thousands of dollars and avoid going to court if you become incapacitated.

bullet

HIPAA Authorization:  What it is and how it authorizes your healthcare providers to give information about your health and medical condition and treatment to your designated agent.

bullet

bullet

bullet

Post Mortem Wishes:  What is it and how can help your family if something happens to you.

bullet

IRA Inheritance Trusttm:  What is it and how it can save your loved ones hundreds of thousands or even millions of dollars.  This new type of trust was first authorized by the IRS in 2005.  It's sole purpose is to receive distributions from IRA, 401(k) and other retirement accounts.  The IRA Inheritance Trusttm allows funds held in these retirement accounts to be paid ("stretched out") to an individual trust created for each beneficiary of the retirement account over each beneficiary's life so that the assets can grow tax free while in the IRA or retirement account.  The IRA Inheritance Trusttm  can also provide asset protection on funds distributed from the account to the trust.

bullet

Fees:  We discuss the fixed fees we charge, which are stated on our website on the Estate Plan Preparation Service page.  Note:  The fees shown on this page are before applying the discount we give to people who attend one of our estate planning seminars.  We do not hide our fees.  You know exactly how much your estate plan will cost before you agree to go forward.

bullet

Hiring Rick Keyt to Prepare Your Estate Plan:  If you decide to purchase an estate plan at the end of your initial consultation, you may sign an engagement agreement that states exactly what Rick Keyt will do and exactly how much you will pay.  Our policy for estate plans is to get one half of the cost of the estate plan at the time you sign the engagement agreement and the balance when you sign your estate planning documents.
