Arizona's Oldest and Largest Estate Planning Firm
Update Your Will
Life changes. Your will should change with it. If you have not reviewed your will after a marriage, divorce, new child, or move to Arizona, it may no longer reflect your wishes.

A will is not a set-it-and-forget-it document. Major life events can make your current will outdated, incomplete, or even unenforceable. If any of the following have happened since you last signed your will, it is time for a review.
Arizona law may automatically change who inherits from you. Your will should reflect your current wishes.
A new child means a new guardian nomination. Children born after a will is signed may not be covered.
If a beneficiary, executor, or guardian has passed away, your document needs updated alternates.
Estate laws vary by state. A will drafted elsewhere may not meet Arizona requirements.
Buying a home, receiving an inheritance, or selling a business changes what your will needs to cover.
If you no longer want someone to serve in a named role, your will should reflect that.
We review your existing will and any amendments, codicils, or related documents. It does not matter who drafted them.
Beneficiaries, executors, guardians, and asset distributions are all verified against your current situation and Arizona law.
If changes are needed, we explain exactly what and why. If everything is solid, we tell you that too.
When corrections are needed, we prepare updated documents, walk through them with you, and handle witnessing and notarization.

If you own real estate in Arizona, have retirement accounts, or simply want your family to avoid probate court, a living trust may be a better foundation for your plan. Most of our clients use a will and a trust together. The trust handles your assets. The will names guardians and catches anything the trust missed.
During your consultation, we will help you understand whether a will alone is enough or whether a more complete plan makes sense for your family.
A living trust avoids probate, stays private, and protects you during incapacity. Combined with a will, it gives your family the most comprehensive protection available under Arizona law.
