Debbie Placet, Manager/Founder

Debbie Placet

Manager / Founder | RJP Estate Planning

My phone rang in the middle of the night, just days after New Year’s. When I answered, I heard the words no one is prepared for:

“Your husband is gone.”

My heart sank. Life for me and my two teenage daughters changed forever. But what followed was even worse than I ever could have imagined.

Suddenly, I was faced with a barrage of claims, accusations, and demands:

“That’s mine, not yours.”

“Your husband promised me this.”

“She won’t know how to handle this… I’ll just take it.”

Despite the overwhelming chaos, I survived. Because I had two powerful things on my side: our caring, compassionate team at RJP Estate Planning, and my Living Trust as part of our estate plan.

My signed and notarized Living Trust gave me proof of ownership. No one could take what was rightfully mine. That Living Trust saved me from uncertainty and turmoil, and it will do the same for my daughters when I’m gone.

Since 1995, over 40,000 Arizona families have trusted RJP Estate Planning to protect their assets and their families. Let us help protect you and your family with the same compassion and dedication that carried me through the hardest time of my life.

Caroline Liechty

Executive Partner | RJP Estate Planning

With over 20 years in the financial industry and 15+ years at RJP, Caroline helps the firm run with intention, integrity, and heart. She believes leadership means showing up, solving problems, and stepping into whatever role the team and families need.

Raised in a family of entrepreneurs, she was managing one of her family's businesses by age 14. That hands-on start shaped her work ethic and her office reputation as the "question box" who keeps asking until there's clarity and a solution.

Married with two boys and three dogs, Caroline moved her parents one block away to help care for them. That personal experience gives her deep compassion for seniors and families navigating life's toughest transitions.
