Frequently Asked Questions
Most Tonopah residents benefit from both a will and a revocable living trust. Arizona's probate threshold is $75,000 in personal property or any real estate — estates above this level go through probate under A.R.S. § 14-3001 without a trust. A revocable living trust under A.R.S. § 14-7005 avoids probate entirely, providing privacy and faster distribution. A Tonopah estate planning attorney can recommend the right structure for your assets.
An Arizona durable power of attorney under A.R.S. § 14-5501 allows you to designate someone to manage your financial affairs if you become incapacitated. A healthcare power of attorney under A.R.S. § 36-3221 authorizes someone to make medical decisions on your behalf. Without these documents, your family may need to go to Maricopa County Superior Court for a guardianship or conservatorship proceeding — an expensive process. A Tonopah attorney can draft these documents correctly.
Arizona probate under A.R.S. § 14-3001 is the court-supervised process of distributing a deceased person's estate. Arizona has simplified probate for estates under $75,000.
