Attorney Anjali Practical legal tips for Arizona families, homeowners, and small businesses.

Does your spouse automatically get to make your medical decisions in Arizona? Not exactly.

Doctors need informed consent before treatment. If you're incapacitated, Arizona has a default decision-maker statute that sets out who can decide, and whether a spouse is first can depend on things like separation status.

A properly signed healthcare power of attorney controls first.

Save this if you want to choose who speaks for you in an emergency.

Your photos, your social media accounts, the business tied to them. Who can access them if something happens to you?

A lot of my clients have digital assets with real value, especially when a business is connected to them.

Don't rely only on your trust or financial power of attorney to take control of these. Many of these accounts let you name a specific backup person who can access them if something happens.

Save this and check which of your accounts offer that option.

Did you know some HOA landscaping issues aren’t architectural violations at all?

Trees, gravel, and yard maintenance are often misclassified.
How the HOA labels the issue can affect what it’s allowed to enforce.

A beneficiary deed only works if it’s recorded. Drafting isn’t enough. It needs to be signed, notarized and recorded. If it isn’t recorded before death, your house goes through probate anyway.

I used to think I had to know every answer.

Early in your legal career, the message is that you should spot every issue and solve every problem on the spot. If you can't, you're not good at what you do.

After 16 years of practice, I see it differently. It's okay to take a few minutes to think. It's okay to follow up with something I should have mentioned. And it's okay to call a trusted professional in a complementary area and bounce it off them.

Knowing what I know well, and knowing when to bring someone in, is part of doing this job.

What's something you believed early in your career that you've let go of?

Arizona Probate FAQ: Do creditors get paid before family?
Often, yes, but some protections may exist for a surviving spouse or dependent children in certain situations. The specific order depends on the estate’s facts.

Did you know you’re generally bound by the terms of a contract you sign — even if you didn’t read them carefully?

Courts usually assume adults understand the agreements they enter into.
If a term matters to you, it’s worth understanding it before you sign, not after a problem comes up.

A power of attorney is a start, not the whole plan. Real incapacity planning covers more than one document. Here are the do's and don'ts.

Save this, and book a consult at the link in my bio.

Doing business in more than one state? Your LLC probably needs to be registered in each one, not just where you formed it.

This doesn't create a new LLC. Your existing business gets registered as a foreign entity in the new state.

It usually costs less than forming the LLC in the first place, and most states let you do it online.

Save this if your business is growing past state lines.

Married? Don't assume everything automatically goes to your spouse.

Plenty of couples still hold separate assets, sometimes on purpose, sometimes because they just haven't combined them yet.

I also see beneficiary designations that never got updated after the wedding, so an old beneficiary is still listed. And in blended families, there may be a real intention for someone other than the spouse to receive certain assets.

That's why every plan starts with a full inventory, then gets designed around where you want each asset to go.

Save this and go check your beneficiaries.
