Availability for same-day, evening, or weekend appointments depends on current scheduling and the complexity of your matter. Calling the office is the best way to check current openings.

How to Prepare for Your Appointment

You do not need to gather extensive financial statements for the first meeting. Instead, think about:

• Who you trust to handle finances if you cannot
• Who should make health care decisions if you are unable
• Who should receive your assets after your death
• Any children, blended family issues, or special circumstances to consider

The attorney will walk you through the decisions that need to be made and help you understand your options in clear, non-technical language.

Estate planning is the process of creating legal documents that explain:

• What should happen to your property after you die
• Who should manage your affairs if you become unable to make decisions
• Who should make medical decisions for you if you cannot speak for yourself

A complete estate plan may include a will, trust, financial power of attorney, advance health care directive, and appropriate deeds or beneficiary designations.

Who Needs a Will or Estate Plan?

Most adults should have a will, especially if they:

• Own real estate or other significant property
• Are married, divorced, or in a long-term relationship
• Have minor children or blended family issues
• Want specific people to receive specific assets

If you die without a will, state law (intestacy) decides who receives your property, which may not match your wishes.

Wills vs. Trusts

• Will – States who receives your property after death and who manages your estate. A will usually does not avoid probate; instead, it tells the probate court how to distribute your estate.
• Revocable living trust – Lets you place assets in a trust during your lifetime, usually while staying in control of them. A properly funded trust may help avoid or reduce probate, provide privacy, and simplify administration.

Whether a will alone is sufficient or a trust is more appropriate depends on your assets, goals, and family situation.

Probate Basics

Probate is the court process for handling an estate after someone dies. It may involve:

• Proving a will is valid
• Appointing a personal representative
• Identifying assets and debts
• Notifying heirs and beneficiaries
• Distributing property

Tools that may help reduce or avoid probate include:

• Revocable living trusts
• Transfer-on-death deeds for real estate
• Payable-on-death and beneficiary designations
• Appropriate forms of joint ownership in certain situations

These tools must be coordinated with your overall estate plan and how your assets are titled.

Powers of Attorney and Health Care Directives

• Financial (durable) power of attorney – Lets you name someone to handle financial and property matters if you are unavailable or incapacitated.
• Advance health care directive / medical power of attorney – Lets you state medical preferences and name someone to make health care decisions if you cannot speak for yourself.

These documents are central to planning for incapacity and avoiding the need for court involvement when possible.

When to Review Your Estate Plan

Walk-In Wills recommends reviewing your estate plan after major life changes, such as:

• Marriage, divorce, or separation
• Birth or adoption of a child or grandchild
• Death or incapacity of a spouse, beneficiary, or key decision-maker
• Purchase or sale of real estate
• Moving to another state (including a move to Arizona or New Mexico)
• Major changes in finances or family relationships

If you move to Arizona or New Mexico with an existing estate plan, it is a good idea to have local counsel review your documents so they align with local law and procedures.
