The fear of death is most likely one of the most common reasons why people do not think it’s necessary to have a Will. As your legal advisor, it is my responsibility to educate you about the importance of thinking of your own mortality or having to face the death of a family member. AZDS can help you arrange your Will and Estate plan to address your goals, intentions, and the needs of your loved ones and business.
It is difficult for families to “work things out” in terms of estate planning and estate administration after the death of a loved one and this is where we can help. The issues surrounding incapacity where dementia and other mental disabilities have made it impossible for someone to manage his or her own affairs and others must step in, has made the law of Wills and estate significant.
We are well situated through background, experience and training, to assist clients through the pitfalls of will and trust planning, estate administration, planning for and if necessary, managing through mental incapacity and all forms of contested estate matters. Estate planning includes a wide range of wills, trusts, charitable donation plans, cross-border considerations for clients who are either citizens elsewhere or have assets elsewhere or both, and AZDs has the expertise to provide advice and prepare the necessary materials to implement sophisticated plans.
Many elements of estate planning involve other concerns such as domestic contracts, custody and support and property division issues. AZDs is uniquely able to aid in those fields, and will maintain supervision of the process. We can also act as counsel in informal mediation settings to facilitate dispute resolutions. Our services in this area consist of:
