Arizona estate planning attorney · Utah office

Arizona estate planning attorney — a Utah lawyer licensed in Arizona, so the work actually gets done there.

The office is in North Salt Lake. Jon is also licensed in Arizona. If your parents have a house in Phoenix, you winter in Scottsdale, or the kids are in Utah and the folks are in the Valley, you don’t need two firms. One lawyer. One plan. Three states.

What Arizona law means for your plan

Jon is licensed in Arizona. The office is in North Salt Lake — 1010 North 500 East, Suite 200, North Salt Lake, UT 84054. Call or text (801) 872-9889. There isn’t an Arizona storefront or a local Arizona phone. That’s the point: you hire one attorney who can actually do the Arizona work.

This is for Utah families with parents or property in Arizona, and for people who split the year — summers along the Wasatch Front, winters in the desert. Kids here. Parents in Phoenix or Tucson. The plan should be one file, not two lawyers hoping they line up.

Arizona is a community property state. Utah is not. Most assets acquired during marriage in Arizona are owned equally by both spouses. If you still own a house there, inherited one, or spend part of the year in Arizona, those rules have to be written into the documents — not ignored because the rest of the family lives in Utah.

Arizona recognizes beneficiary deeds for real property transfers at death. That’s estate-planning deed work so the house doesn’t need a second probate — not a real-estate practice. Jon is licensed in Utah, Arizona, and Texas, so a third state doesn’t mean a third lawyer.

Every individual and joint plan is the same complete package — the documents, the funding work, the binder, and the follow-up emails. Joint plans cover both spouses. See what’s in every plan.
