Question 1

Does RJP serve Peoria families?

Accepted Answer

Yes. RJP serves Peoria and the northwest Valley from our Scottsdale office. The early planning meetings are available over Zoom or phone, and we hold free seminars across the Valley, so you can get started close to home. Distance does not change the plan or the support.

Question 2

Can I start my plan remotely from Peoria?

Accepted Answer

Yes. The early planning meetings can be handled by Zoom or phone, so you can get your plan started from home without driving down to Scottsdale. The final signing appointment is typically done in person at our Scottsdale office. By then you are already a client, so it is simply the last step in the process.

Question 3

Will a living trust avoid probate for a Peoria home?

Accepted Answer

Yes, when the home is titled into a properly funded trust. Peoria is in Maricopa County, where probate can take 6 to 12 months and becomes public record. A funded living trust passes your home directly to your family without the court. Funding the home into the trust is the step that makes it work, and it is included.

Question 4

I live in an active adult community. Is planning any different?

Accepted Answer

The goals are the same, and a few details get more attention. Many residents in communities like Trilogy and Vistancia own their home outright and want it to pass cleanly to family, so titling the home into the trust matters most. We also make sure your powers of attorney are current, since those protect you while you are living.

Question 5

Who prepares the documents?

Accepted Answer

RJP Estate Planning works hand in hand with experienced estate planning counsel. The attorneys we work with draft every trust and will to your family situation and full Arizona compliance, and the RJP team funds and supports your plan for life.
