WILLS IN ARIZONA

Creating a will is one of the most meaningful steps you can take to protect your legacy and care for those you love most.At Obsidian Ridge Law, we help you create a legally sound will that reflects your wishes and provides clear direction for your family. With our expertise and compassionate approach, you can feel confident that your future, and theirs, is in good hands.

WHAT IS A WILL?

A will, also known as a last will and testament, is a legal document that outlines your wishes after your death. It allows you to:

  • Specify how property and assets will be distributed

  • Appoint a trusted executor or personal representative

  • Name guardians for minor children

  • Establish testamentary trusts to protect beneficiaries during probate

  • Incorporate tax considerations into your estate plan

While a will is a cornerstone of estate planning, it’s important to note that it does not avoid probate, provide for disability planning, or override beneficiary designations on accounts. For many families, a will works best when paired with other estate planning tools.

FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS

  • We recommend reviewing your will every 3-5 years or after major life changes such as marriage, divorce, a new child, or changes in financial status.

  • If you die intestate (without a will), Arizona law dictates who inherits your assets. This process may not reflect your wishes and can lead to disputes or delays in probate.

  • Yes, but it must be stated clearly and carefully to avoid legal challenges. An attorney ensures your wishes are legally enforceable.

  • A will governs the distribution of assets after death. A living will outlines medical treatment preferences if you are incapacitated.
