Estate Planning Made Simple | Wills, Trusts & Probate for Arizona Families

We provide a wide range of legal services including trusts and wills, Medicaid planning, and the most comprehensive estate planning services available.

One missing bank statement or an account that's still a few hundred dollars over the limit can get an ALTCS application denied after months of waiting, and your family keeps paying for care out of pocket while they apply again.

Not all assets are treated the same when you apply for Medicaid. 💵

Annuities are one of the biggest surprises, and whether one counts against you or actually protects your savings comes down to one thing almost nobody checks first.

Families who try to move money around without guidance often end up with penalties, delayed eligibility, or losing benefits entirely.

Watch before an annuity works against you instead of for you. ⚖️

ALTCS can help pay for the care you get in assisted living, but it doesn't cover the room and meals, so a family that planned only for the application can still be left paying a few thousand dollars a month.

When a loved one passes away, it can feel like your whole world stops in that moment. 🕊️

The last thing you want to think about is paperwork, but there's a specific order of steps that makes everything after so much easier to handle.

Acting too fast on big decisions, like selling property or dividing assets, can cause delays, tax problems, or family disputes that never needed to happen.

Watch before you make a move you can't take back. ⚖️

10/17/2026

Filling out the ALTCS forms the right way won't keep your house safe if you move into care, nobody else lives there, and nothing shows you plan to come back, because then Arizona can start counting it against you.

People think estate planning is only about money. 💭

It's actually not, and the families who realize that first are the ones who avoid court battles, confusion, and stress when it matters most.

Even without a large estate, there's a short list of documents that determines who makes decisions for you, and skipping them hands that control straight to a courtroom.

Watch to see what estate planning is really protecting. ⚖️

10/16/2026

Arizona usually doesn't count your home or one car when you apply for ALTCS, so the same dollars that block you from care in a savings account may be protected once they're put toward paying off the house or replacing an old car.

Nursing home care in Arizona can cost thousands of dollars every month. 💰

Most families assume there's nothing they can do about it, but there are strategies that quietly protect savings and property, and most people overlook every single one of them.

The earlier you start, the more of these tools are actually available to you, and waiting until a crisis hits shuts most of them down completely.

Watch before your options run out. ⚖️

10/15/2026

Arizona caps a single person's savings at about $2,000 for ALTCS, but money spent fixing the roof or prepaying a funeral doesn't count, and a lot of families learn that only after the nursing home has their savings.

What happens to your Instagram, your email, or your banking app the day you die? 📱

Most people assume their family can just log in and take care of it, but that's not how it works anymore, and Arizona actually has a strict legal order for who wins control.

Families have lost photos, money, and even cryptocurrency because nobody knew the passwords existed, let alone had the legal right to use them.

Watch before your digital life gets locked away for good. ⚖️
