The cost of estate planning in Arizona varies based on the complexity of your assets and the specific documents you need. A simple estate plan with a basic will may cost a few hundred dollars, while a comprehensive plan involving trusts, tax strategies, and healthcare directives could range into the thousands.
At Lincoln & Wenk, we provide transparent, upfront pricing. During your consultation, we’ll assess your unique situation and give you a tailored quote so you know exactly what services you’re paying for.
In Arizona, estates with over $75,000 in personal property or $100,000 in real property usually need to go through probate. This process ensures that the estate’s assets are distributed according to the law or the will’s instructions.
However, smaller estates may qualify for simplified procedures that skip formal probate. Effective estate planning can help bypass probate, saving your loved ones time and money.
An estate plan focuses on personal assets and outlines how they will be distributed after death. It involves tools like wills, trusts, and powers of attorney to protect your family and ensure your wishes are followed.
A succession plan, on the other hand, is specific to business owners. It details how ownership and leadership will transition when you retire, pass away, or cannot run the business. This ensures that your business continues smoothly after you step down.
It’s wise to start planning your estate when you accumulate assets or have dependents. For many people, this means starting in their 20s or 30s, especially if they own property or have children.
Estate planning isn’t just for the elderly. Life is unpredictable, and having a solid plan protects your family and ensures your wishes are honored, no matter what the future holds. You can always adjust your plan as your life evolves.
Estate planning is a broader process that may include creating a trust, but the two aren’t the same. Estate planning involves setting up all the legal tools — like wills, powers of attorney, and trusts — necessary to manage and distribute your assets.
A trust is one of these tools, allowing you to transfer assets to a trustee to manage on behalf of beneficiaries. It can be a key part of your overall estate plan, especially for avoiding probate and protecting assets.
Estate planning isn’t something you can (or should) put off. Take control of your future and protect what matters most.
