Wills in Gilbert, AZ – Plan Ahead with LifePlan Legal AZ

A Will is a Simple Way to Protect Your Loved Ones

Here at LifePlan Legal AZ, we believe that planning ahead is one of the greatest gifts you can give your family. None of us like to think about the unexpected, but having a clear plan in place means your wishes will be followed — and your loved ones won’t be left guessing.

We help clients in Gilbert, AZ create custom wills that:

• Clearly outline who should inherit your assets
• Name someone you trust to handle your affairs (known as a personal representative or executor)
• Appoint guardians for minor children
• Minimize family conflict by making your wishes known

Whether you have a small estate or a complex one, a will helps make sure your voice is heard — even when you’re not there to speak for yourself.

What a Will Can (and Can’t) Do

A will is an essential piece of any estate plan, but it’s important to understand its limits. A will only goes into effect after you pass away — it won’t help if you become incapacitated or need someone to manage your affairs while you’re alive.

A will also doesn’t avoid probate — your estate will still need to go through Arizona’s probate court system, which can be costly, time-consuming, and public.

Should You Consider a Trust Instead?

For many families, a revocable living trust offers a better, more complete solution than a will alone. While a will spells out your wishes, a trust goes a step further by:

• Avoiding probate entirely — keeping your affairs private and out of court
• Providing instructions if you become incapacitated — no need for guardianship or conservatorship
• Making asset management easier for your family — with no court oversight
• Allowing for smoother transitions of property and other assets

At LifePlan Legal AZ, we help you understand whether a will, a trust, or a combination of both is the best fit for your goals. Our focus is always on making sure your wishes are honored and your family is protected — no matter what the future holds.
