Trust and Estate Planning and Probate Law

Trust and Estate Planning – Probate Law

Trust and Estate Planning – Probate Law Services in Maricopa County, Pinal County and Pima County Superior Court as well as Surrounding City Courts.

At DuMond Law Firm, our attorneys are trained in estate planning and can assist with drafting Wills, Trusts, and Power of Attorney Documents. When an individual passes away, the deceased’s estate often enters into the probate process if sufficient estate planning is not taken care of ahead of time. During probate, the deceased’s will is validated and their possessions are distributed among their survivors. How the deceased person’s property is divided depends largely on what the will says, whether the individual was of sound mind when creating or updating their will, how the property is valued, and what debts or taxes are owed on the estate. If the deceased person did not have a will, the state of Arizona will decide how the property will be distributed. DuMond Law Firm can draft documents to avoid this probate process entirely and make the transfer of assets smoother and quicker for your loved ones.
