Scottsdale Estate Plan Attorneys' Estate Plan Contents

by Arizona estate planning attorneys Richard Keyt (Rick, the father) and Richard C. Keyt (Ricky, the son)

We are Scottsdale estate planning attorneys with over 50 years of combined estate planning experience who have prepared 630+ estate plans. We want to have a free meeting with you to answer your questions and design a comprehensive estate plan that protects your most valuable assets – your loved ones.

Sixty-seven percent of Americans do not have an estate plan.  Don't be one of them.  If you don't have a will or a trust the intestate succession law of your state of residence, not you, will determine who inherits your assets.  To learn who will inherit your assets if you are an Arizona resident and die without a will or a trust see our article called Who Inherits Your Property If You Die without a Will or a Trust.

Get Peace of Mind and Protect Your Loved Ones

If you hire us to prepare your estate plan you will get:

  • A revocable living trust that: (1) becomes irrevocable after your death (cannot be amended) and leaves your assets to the person or people you want to inherit your assets, (2) provides lifetime asset protection of the inherited assets from your beneficiary's creditors, ex-spouse and bankruptcy courts, (3) has standby special needs trust provisions if a loved one is a special needs person now or later in life, and (4)  names a trusted person or people to manage assets for minor children or young adults if you or you and your spouse die or become incapacitated.
  • A deed that transfers your home to your trust.
  • A last will & testament that transfers any assets that remain in your name after death to your trust.  If you have any minor children your will also names the person or people you want to become the guardian(s) who raise your minor children if both of their parents are deceased.
  • A healthcare power of attorney in which you name the person who can make medical decisions for you if you cannot communicate with the doctor.
  • A living will is instructions from you to doctors to pull the plug if you are brain-dead and being kept alive by machines.
  • A financial power of attorney in which you name a person who can manage your financial affairs if you are unable.
  • A personal property memorandum in which you describe personal items such as jewelry or art and name the person who gets the item if you die.
  • Digital pdf files of all your signed documents so you can give them to people who need them if you die or become mentally incapacitated.
  • Peace of mind

The first step to protect your loved ones and ensure your assets go to your desired heir(s) is to book a free office, phone, or Zoom video consultation with one of the Keyts.  During this no-obligation meeting they will answer your questions and design your estate plan. Make an appointment with:

We really recommend Richard KeytLaw if you need help with LLCs.My husband and I have been researching the LLC laws and law firms for asset protection for a while. We had discussions with a few online companies including a nationally well-known company before making decision to go with KeytLaw. Some of them recommended overly complex LLC structures with a huge setting cost and on-going maintenance fee. We eventually decided to go with KeytLaw because of Richard's experiences and knowledge about Arizona Law, their accessibility, and their fee structure. We are very happy with the decision to go with Richard and plan to use their service for estate planning in the future.Response from the ownerHi, Mei-lin.

ThanksResponse from the ownerHi, Rudy. Thanks for your review. Glad to hear you had a great experience. james E. ★★★★★ Forming a new LLC could not be any easier! KEYTLaw is very quick and efficient. Will definitely use them again!Response from the ownerThanks for the stellar review, James. Carly W ★★★★★ I’m a new entrepreneur and recently started my first business, so I decided to open an LLC. Keyt Law had great online reviews, so I called them and am very happy I did! He answered all my questions over the phone and was very knowledgeable and friendly. I purchased their Gold Package, which included setting up a Trust to “own” the LLC as an added measure of security (I really like that my personal info won’t be public record). My LLC was established the same day, and I got my EIN the next day. Everything was done by phone, e-mail, and Docusign, which was convenient because I didn’t have to take time off work to go into the office. I even got a beautiful, professional portfolio mailed to me with all of my documents arranged behind organized tabs (which, as a brand new business owner, I was very excited to receive…not only is it great to have all my docs in one place, but also the portfolio itself looks really nice and makes me feel “official”)! Once you open your LLC they send out emails almost daily to remind you of things that need to be done for your new business, and to offer lots of other helpful information. This info is vital to new, inexperienced business owners like myself. There was 1 small issue with my trust, but it was resolved quickly. The price of the Gold package is very reasonable considering everything you get. If you’re looking to open an LLC in AZ I highly recommend Keyt Law!Response from the ownerI wanted to express my sincerest gratitude for taking the time to write a fantastic five-star review for KEYTLaw, LLC. As a new entrepreneur embarking on my first business venture, your review means the world to me.I'm thrilled to hear that you found KEYTLaw through our positive online reviews and decided to give us a call. It was a pleasure assisting you in establishing your LLC and providing you with the Gold Package. Your decision to include a Trust to safeguard your personal information was a wise one, and I'm glad you appreciate the added measure of security.I'm glad that our phone conversations were helpful, and I could address all your inquiries to your satisfaction. It's always my goal to provide knowledgeable and friendly service, especially to new business owners like yourself. By conducting all the necessary procedures through phone, email, and Docusign, we aim to make the process convenient for our clients, allowing you to focus on your work without needing to take time off to visit our office.Receiving your beautiful, professional portfolio must have been an exciting moment for you.

25 Documents & Services You Get if You Hire Us

We doubt you will find a Scottsdale or Phoenix estate planning attorney whose estate plan includes as many documents and services as we provide.  Look at other estate planning lawyers' websites and they normally don't tell you what you get if you hire them or the fee they charge.  We don't hide the ball.  Our 25 documents and services are described below.  Our estate plan fee is shown at the end of the list of documents and services.

1. Revocable living trust that causes your assets to pass on your death or the death of you and your spouse if you are married automatically without the need for an expensive superior court probate to your heirs named in the trust.  The main reason people buy our estate plan with a revocable living trust is because when they die they want their trust to create a beneficiary-controlled asset-protected trust for each of their loved ones so the inherited assets can never be reached by the loved one's creditors, ex-spouses or a bankruptcy court.

2. Optional language you could include in your trust.  If you want a pet trust we will put pet trust language in your trust.  We email you a Word file that has optional incentive and disincentive provisions you can include in your trust agreement.  You can edit our incentive and disincentive provisions and add your own text.  See our list of incentive/disincentive provisions.

Stop Procrastinating: Protect Your Family Before It is Too Late

Book a Free Estate Plan Consultation

If, like most people, you have procrastinated and do not have an estate plan that protects your loved ones and if you do not purchase our gold estate plan, the sad reality is that you will most likely continue to procrastinate for many years to come and probably will die without protecting your loved ones. That’s ok if you want the State of Arizona to decide who inherits your property and if you don’t care about the problems and expense your family may suffer if you die without planning ahead.

Isn’t your family your most valuable asset? Don’t you want your family to have the protection that a good estate plan provides? If the cost is preventing you from making an appointment, compare the cost of an estate plan against money you have spent on things for yourself such as a flat screen TV, furniture, swimming pool, computer system, hi-fi system, car or SUV, boat, country club membership, jewelry, art and other “toys” or expensive items. Don’t spend more on “stuff” than you spend to protect your family if something happens to you.

Your Most Valuable Asset

Book a Free Estate Plan Consultation

Warning for Arizona Residents

The State of Arizona has a law that specifies who inherits the assets of Arizona residents who die without a will or a trust.  This law may cause your assets to be inherited by the wrong person or people if you lack a will or trust.  To learn who will inherit your assets if you die without a will or a trust see my article called "Who Inherits Your Property If You Die without a Will or a Trust" and take my short online quiz called "Who Inherits Your Property."  If the wrong person or people would inherit your assets you need to hire us to prepare a will or a trust that leaves your assets to the person or people you want to inherit the assets, not to the people Arizona gives your property to.
