Areas of Practice
We cover a broad range of estate planning processes, such as the following:
Wills & Trusts
Estate planning is often synonymous with wills and trusts. A valid will requires the testator to be at least 18 and of sound mind, and must have two witness signatures. Trusts offer private asset management and probate avoidance. Our team ensures documents meet statutory requirements, minimizing future disputes and taxes.
Probate
Probate in Arizona is the court-supervised validation of a will and asset distribution. Legal assistance is crucial for navigating strict filing deadlines and complex creditor notifications. We help personal representatives avoid personal liability for administrative errors, mediate family disputes, and ensure the efficient transfer of property to beneficiaries.
Power of Attorney
A power of attorney designates a trusted agent to manage your financial or medical affairs during incapacity. A valid document must be in writing, signed by a principal of sound mind, and executed before a notary and at least one witness. Our Gilbert estate planning lawyer ensures your documents meet strict state statutes, customizes the agent’s authority to prevent abuse, and helps avoid costly, court-ordered guardianship proceedings.
Special Needs Trusts
A special needs trust protects a disabled individual’s eligibility for government benefits, such as ALTCS and SSI, while providing supplemental support. Key requirements include designating a trustee and ensuring the beneficiary lacks direct access to funds. Our role is to ensure compliance with state and federal statutes so you don’t get disqualified from benefits.
Medicaid Planning
Medicaid planning in Arizona involves qualifying for ALTCS benefits while preserving your assets. To be eligible in 2026, an individual’s monthly income must not exceed $2,982, and countable resources must be under $2,000. Our experienced attorneys can implement Miller Trusts or spend-down strategies to help you legally meet these strict requirements.
What to Expect
The consultation process is designed to provide clarity and direction for individuals looking to start their estate planning in Gilbert. The first step is to contact the office to schedule a complimentary one-hour consultation. During this meeting, our attorney gathers information about your personal circumstances, goals, and concerns to better understand your planning needs. This discussion helps identify appropriate estate planning tools and outlines potential next steps.
A consultation also allows us time to explain the process, answer questions, and address any uncertainties immediately. The goal is to ensure you leave the meeting with a clear understanding of your options and what to expect moving forward. That way, you can make informed decisions about protecting assets and supporting loved ones.
