What Happens to Your Family If Something Happens to You Tomorrow?


If you die or become incapacitated without a proper estate plan, the consequences for your loved ones can be devastating.


  • Your assets may go to the wrong people. Arizona inheritance laws may produce results you never intended.
  • Your family may face probate. Court proceedings can cost thousands of dollars, take months, and become part of the public record.
  • Your minor children’s future may be uncertain. Without your nomination of a guardian, a court may have to choose who will raise them.
  • Your children’s inheritances may be vulnerable. Assets inherited outright may be exposed to creditors, divorce, lawsuits, or financial mismanagement.
  • Your family may face difficult decisions. Without appropriate powers of attorney and healthcare directives, the people you trust may lack the legal authority they need.

You cannot predict when your family will need your estate plan. You can decide to protect them today.

Answers to Common Questions About Arizona Legal Services


Do I need both a will and a revocable living trust in Arizona?Click to open ▾Click to close ▴

Yes. A well designed trust-based estate plan includes a will and a trust. A properly funded revocable trust can provide for management of trust assets during incapacity and transfer of those assets after death without a probate of the trust assets. A pour-over will addresses assets left outside the trust and can nominate guardians for minor children. Whether you need a trust depends on your goals, assets and circumstances.

Will a living trust always avoid probate?Click to open ▾Click to close ▴

Yes if all your assets are owned by the trust and all assets not owned by the trust are set to pass automatically to heirs on your death, i.e., pay on death designation. Probate avoidance depends in part on how property is titled and whether beneficiary designations and other transfer arrangements are coordinated. Property left outside a trust may still require a probate or another transfer procedure. See Arizona Probate Guide: Laws, Process, Costs & Resources

What does it cost to have KEYTLaw prepare an Arizona estate plan?Click to open ▾Click to close ▴

Our published custom revocable-trust estate plan package prices are $3,500 for one person and $4,500 for two people. Review the documents and services included before making a decision.

How much does it cost to form an Arizona LLC with KEYTLaw?Click to open ▾Click to close ▴

Our published Bronze, Silver and Gold formation package prices are $500, $900 and $1,400, respectively. Packages differ in the services and documents included. Compare the three packages. If you don’t want your name and address to be displayed by the public records of the ACC when somebody looks up your LLC, you need to buy our Gold LLC formation package, aka the confidential LLC.

Does an Arizona LLC need an operating agreement?Click to open ▾Click to close ▴

Arizona law generally does not require an LLC to have a written operating agreement simply to exist, but a carefully drafted agreement can define management, economic rights, transfers of ownership and how disputes are resolved. This is particularly important for multi-member LLCs. 19 Ways Members Can Be Harmed if Their Multi-Member LLC Lacks an Operating Agreement

When is probate required after a death in Arizona?Click to open ▾Click to close ▴

Probate may be necessary when a deceased person owned assets that cannot pass through a trust, beneficiary designation, joint ownership arrangement or an available nonprobate transfer procedure. Whether probate is required depends on the assets, ownership and facts of the estate. What Is Arizona Probate, When Is It Required & How to Avoid It. Read our Arizona probate guide.

Does forming a nonprofit corporation automatically make it tax-exempt?Click to open ▾Click to close ▴

No. Arizona nonprofit incorporation and federal recognition of tax-exempt status are separate matters. Many charitable organizations apply to the IRS under Section 501(c)(3), using Form 1023, or Form 1023-EZ if eligible. See Arizona Nonprofit Corporation & 501(c)(3) Guides
