Estate planning is about making sure everything you have worked for goes exactly where you want it to go, and that the people you care about are taken care of the way you choose.

Most people put off estate planning because it feels complicated. Too many documents, too many decisions, and no clear place to start. We hear that all the time. It is exactly why we set things up the way we did.
RJP works with an independent law firm right in our office. Your attorney, your advisor, and your documents are all under one roof.
Your estate is everything you own. Without a plan, the probate court decides what happens to all of it.
Arizona requires probate for estates with more than $200,000 in personal property or $300,000 in real estate. Most Arizona homeowners are already past this line.
Most clients have their completed estate plan in hand within about five weeks. Three steps, start to finish.
