02 / Is this right for you?

Built for simple. Honest about the rest.

Our process is for everyday families with straightforward wishes. Some situations need real legal advice instead, and we will tell you when yours is one of them.

What you get

The standard Arizona probate-avoidance package.

The same core documents many Arizona families use to keep a home and accounts out of probate. Standardized and guided, not custom legal strategy.

  • Revocable living trust. The core document many Arizona families use to keep their home and accounts out of probate.
  • Pour-over will. Catches anything not titled into the trust and directs it there. Names guardians for minor children.
  • Financial power of attorney. Names who can manage your finances if you become unable to.
  • Healthcare power of attorney & living will. Names who makes medical decisions and records your care wishes.
  • Certificate of trust. The short proof of your trust that banks and title companies ask for.
  • Beneficiary deed assistance. For Arizona real estate, when applicable, to transfer property outside probate.

When you need an attorney

What this is not designed for.

Some situations need real legal advice and a custom plan. If any of these apply to you, the standard process is the wrong tool. And our intake will tell you so and point you to an attorney.

  • Blended families or multiple marriages
  • Business ownership or investment entities
  • Disabled or special-needs beneficiaries
  • Asset-protection planning
  • Medicaid or long-term-care planning
  • Significant tax concerns
  • Disinheriting a spouse, child, or family member
  • Out-of-state or multi-state real estate
  • Creditor concerns or pending litigation
  • Unusually large or complex estates
  • Contested or conflict family situations
  • Farm, ranch, or business succession

These are handled by independent attorneys at Edward Law Firm, PLLC, as separate legal services. Not sure which side you’re on?

05 / Want a lawyer in the loop?

A real Arizona firm, when you want one.

Hawthorne Legacy Advisors is a self-help document service. Not a law firm, and it doesn’t give legal advice. But you’re never stuck without a lawyer. You can add optional attorney review of your documents, and anything that falls outside the standard process is referred to an independent Arizona law firm.
