Renting out a property inside an Arizona HOA?

Here's the number one mistake I see. Owners stop watching the property from an HOA compliance standpoint, and it can get expensive fast. You can even end up sued by your HOA.

That's because you are contractually on the hook for what your renter does on the property. So whether you are traveling, out of the country, or relying on a property management company, stay on top of compliance and keep eyes on the mail coming in from your HOA. Catching issues early keeps them from escalating into something a lot more costly.

Save this if you rent out a home in an HOA.

Think an Arizona trust is set it and forget it?

A lot of people misunderstand how trusts work. They are usually evolving documents, not something you sign once and never touch again.

Big life events are good times to revisit yours. The birth of children, marriage, and divorce all matter. One people miss is when kids grow up. Once they turn into adults, they may be ready to step into the agent roles you built the plan around, and your prior agents may no longer be around.

Save this if you have a trust you haven't looked at in a while.

Did you know HOA special assessments usually require more than a board vote?

Depending on the governing documents, owner approval may be required for certain special assessments.

How the assessment is adopted can matter just as much as the amount.

A trust doesn’t avoid probate unless your assets are actually titled in the trust. It’s the biggest missed step I see. The document alone isn’t enough — funding is what makes it work.

What do you actually want an Arizona estate planning attorney to explain?

After years of talking about the same topics, it's easy to assume everyone is already on the same page. That's a trap.

So tell me what trips you up. CC&Rs? The federal estate tax threshold? The whole point of putting a plan together in the first place? Drop your top question below.

Arizona Probate FAQ: Can I be the personal representative if I live out of state?
Often, yes. Being out of state does not automatically disqualify someone, but it can make logistics harder, especially when real estate or physical property is involved.

Did you know you should only obtain an EIN directly from the IRS website?

The EIN application is free and handled through irs.gov.
Third-party sites often charge unnecessary fees or create confusion by bundling services you don’t need.

Would you want your Arizona HOA using AI to write the rules?

That is exactly what happened in an Ahwatukee HOA recently. The parking rules that came out were so out of line with what the community wanted that homeowners were calling to recall the board.

It is a good lesson. Look over the proposals and weigh in. If you do not approve of what is going on, say something. This group stayed engaged, but I can easily see this kind of thing slipping under the radar, and once a rule is in place it is a lot harder to recall and change.

Save this if you live in an Arizona HOA.

Already have an estate plan in Arizona? How do you actually want to hear from your attorney?

One thing I think a lot of estate planning attorneys miss is proactive planning, staying in the conversation after the documents are signed.

If you have had your estate plan done before, what do you prefer? Annual check-ins? An email list? A phone call? Or would you rather ignore it all?

Tell me what is effective, what is annoying, and what you genuinely appreciate about your estate planning relationship.
