Estate Planning Attorney in Tempe, AZ

Flat-fee estate plans for Tempe families. Wills, trusts, powers of attorney — explained in plain English.

Tempe sits between Phoenix and Mesa, anchored by Arizona State University and a growing downtown that has attracted young professionals and tech companies. The city has a younger median age than most of its neighbors, but it also has established neighborhoods south of the Baseline area where long-time homeowners have built real equity. Whether you are a first-time homeowner near the university or a family that has been in Tempe for decades, the fundamentals of estate planning apply.

All consultations for Tempe residents are handled virtually. Jon Miller is licensed in Arizona and conducts the entire process by video call, from the initial consultation through document review. Signing packages are shipped to your address, and we coordinate notarization locally when needed. The virtual approach is a natural fit for Tempe, where most people are already comfortable doing business online.

Tempe is in Maricopa County, so probate goes through the Maricopa County Superior Court. For younger professionals just starting to accumulate assets, the most important documents are a healthcare directive and power of attorney. For families with a home and children, a full trust-based plan is usually the right move.

Arizona Estate Planning Law

Arizona is a community property state, meaning most assets acquired during marriage are owned equally by both spouses. This has significant implications for estate planning, especially for married couples moving to Arizona from a non-community property state. Arizona also recognizes beneficiary deeds for real property transfers at death, and the state has adopted its own version of the Uniform Trust Code.
