   I am an experienced attorney assisting clients with services such as the preparation of an estate plan, business formation as well as assistance with probate of an estate and trust administration.Estate Planning: This involves creating legal documents like wills, trusts, and powers of attorney to manage and distribute assets according to a client\'s wishes. Business Formation: Assisting entrepreneurs and business owners with the legal processes involved in starting and structuring a business, ensuring compliance with the laws of the state of Arizona and aligning with their estate plan. Probate of an Estate: Guiding clients through the legal process of settling a deceased person\'s estate, which includes validating the will, appointing a personal representative, inventorying assets, paying debts and taxes, and distributing assets to beneficiaries. Probate is typically required for larger estates or if someone dies without a will, and can be a complex and time-consuming process.Trust Administration: Helping clients with the management and distribution of assets held within a trust, a mechanism that can potentially avoid probate and offers different benefits depending on the type of trust established.
