Our Services
Family Trusts
Trusts allow greater flexibility in determining how and when children, loved ones, individuals with special needs, and other beneficiaries receive an inheritance. Trusts also ensure a smooth transition and keep your family out of probate court.
Wills
Without a last will and testament, Arizona law determines who will be in charge of your estate, how your assets will be divided and distributed, and who will be appointed guardian over your children.
Powers of Attorney
If you are incapacitated due to an accident or illness, powers of attorney allow someone else to act on your behalf to make financial and healthcare decisions.
Probate
Probate is the court process where, using either Arizona law or an invidual’s last will and testament, a judge decides who will be in charge of an estate and how the estate assets should be distributed.
Business Law
From entity selection and formation to operating agreements and buy-sell agreements, ensuring the right legal documents are in place can help small businesses succeed at what they do best.
Real Estate
Real estate professionals often have a wide range of legal needs, including structuring partnerships for rentals, preparing documents to satisfy a title company, foreclosures (trustee sales), and evictions (forcible detainers).
