Frequently Asked Questions
Answers to common questions about living trusts, wills, and estate planning in Arizona.
A Revocable Living Trust is a legal document created during your lifetime that holds your assets. You remain the trustee and maintain complete control while alive. Upon your death or incapacity, a successor trustee you have named steps in to manage or distribute the assets according to your exact instructions, completely bypassing the probate court.
Yes. Even with a comprehensive living trust, you still need a Pour-Over Will. This serves as a safety net, ensuring any assets accidentally left out of your trust are poured into it upon your passing. A will is also the only place you can legally nominate guardians for minor children.
Because a trust is a separate legal entity, assets properly titled in the name of the trust are not considered part of your probate estate. They can be distributed by your successor trustee immediately, without court interference or public record.
Yes, as long as the trust is revocable and you have mental capacity. You can amend the terms, change beneficiaries, add or remove assets, or revoke the trust entirely at any time during your life.
Dying without a will is called dying intestate. Arizona state law then dictates who receives your assets and in what proportions, regardless of your actual wishes, and guarantees your estate goes through probate.
