Planning in Chandler

Why Chandler families plan before they have to.

Without an estate plan, a Chandler family's affairs land in Maricopa County Superior Court — a public probate process that commonly runs months to a year while accounts sit frozen and a judge, not you, decides who manages everything. A revocable living trust, properly funded, transfers your home and accounts privately — no court, no waiting, no public record.

Chandler is full of young families — and guardianship nominations for minor children are the single most overlooked documents parents need.

Chandler adds its own wrinkles. Tech-corridor professionals often hold RSUs, stock options, and equity compensation that a generic will simply doesn't address — those assets need beneficiary and trust coordination to transfer cleanly. Business owners need succession terms that keep the company running instead of freezing in probate. And families who moved here from other states need documents rebuilt for Arizona's community-property and healthcare-directive rules — an out-of-state plan often only partly works here.

Working with us is easy from anywhere in Chandler: our Gilbert office is about 15 minutes up the Loop 202, and consultations and most meetings can be fully virtual if you prefer. Every plan is a flat fee, quoted before we begin — never an hourly surprise.

Questions from Chandler families

Local answers, plain English.

Where does probate happen for Chandler residents?
Chandler sits in Maricopa County, so probate is filed with the Maricopa County Superior Court — East Valley probate matters are typically heard at the Southeast Regional Court Center in Mesa. It's a public process that commonly takes months or longer. A properly funded revocable living trust avoids probate entirely, which is exactly why most of our Chandler clients choose one.
I have RSUs and stock options from my employer. Does my estate plan handle those?
It should — and most generic plans don't. Equity compensation, 401(k)s, and brokerage accounts pass by beneficiary designation and titling, not by what your will says. We coordinate those designations with your trust so your equity transfers the way you intend, with tax and timing consequences considered.
We just moved to Arizona. Is the estate plan from our old state still good?
Possibly in part — but Arizona is a community property state, and its requirements for healthcare directives, mental health care powers of attorney, and financial powers of attorney differ from most states. We review out-of-state plans honestly and update only what actually needs updating.
What does an estate plan cost in Chandler?
Every AVID estate plan is a flat fee, quoted openly at your free consultation before any work begins — and it's all-inclusive, so there are no surprise upcharges. You'll know your exact investment upfront, whether we meet in Gilbert or virtually.
