An e-Will is a Last Will & Testament, just executed in a digital format and stored online.

A.R.S. § 14-2518 through A.R.S § 14-2523 codify the existence and standards of an e-Will.

Absolutely! Arizona was one of the pioneering states of virtual estate planning and electronic Wills. An e-Will offers the exact same benefits as a physical Will, but has unmatched convenience and security.

A Qualified Custodian is someone who protects, digitally stores, and manages a Self Proved e-Will. By having a Qualified Custodian Manage the e-Will, it is assumed to be valid and executed correctly when entered into Probate. This means your Personal Representative does not need to track down witnesses and avoids that extra cost.

For every e-Will executed with us, the Danza Law Office will act as your Qualified Custodian for a yearly fee. You must have a Qualified Custodian to execute an e-Will with the Danza Law Office because we want to ensure your e-Will is ready when you need it. Without that protection, executing an e-Will offers minimal benefits.

Usually no!

A Will only handles your property. Other important parts of your life and your estate, including your healthcare and your financial matters, are not handled by a Will.

Importantly, a Will only begins to take effect after your death. It does nothing to help you during Incapacity (which is when you cannot act due to illness or disability). Incapacity can happen to any of us, without warning, and can have terrible effects if not planned for. Without a Living Will, Health Care Power of Attorney, Mental Health Care Power of Attorney, and a Durable Financial Power of Attorney from a Full Estate Plan, you, your estate, and your loved ones are not fully protected.

Further, a Revocable Trust provides speed, privacy, & flexibility to an estate plan. Limiting or completely avoiding Probate cannot be overstated in cost and time savings. And the total privacy a Revocable Trust provides cannot be beat. It also improves the protections against Incapacity for you and your family as your Successor Trustee can step in and help with Trust Property. A Revocable Trust provides much more inclusive protection than a Will. If you choose a Revocable Trust plan with us, it includes all the documents of a Full Estate Plan!

Roadrunners are family birds that establish loving, monogamous, long term relationships, often settle down to homemake, and possess an unmatched love for their young. For an Estate Planning practice, there could not be a better symbol.

We adore the Arizona desert and its animals. Often exploring near our rural home as children, we frequently spied fleeting glimpses of these accelerating birds. And we fell in love with them. They represent Arizona, our past, and our family.

Roadrunners embody our mission to Mold Enduring Estate Plans & Make Estate Execution Practical.

Getting started is simple - schedule a Peace of Mind Session. Reach out through our contact form or give us a call.

We’ll walk you through the next steps and answer any questions along the way.

We are bringing Arizona Estate Planning into the 21st century by offering electronic wills and virtual estate planning. Virtual estate planning has a level of convenience, privacy, and security that is unmatched.

But we are not leaving behind the personalization and assurance you get from speaking with a real attorney.

At the Danza Law Office you get the best of both!

We offer flat fees that are totally inclusive for the execution of any of our Virtual Estate Plans. These flat fees mean no extra charge for more meetings, emails, questions, or conversations. And ensures you exactly know what you are paying upon your plan choice.

Will: $800

Full Estate Plan: $1,200

Revocable Trust: $3,000

Additionally, after we execute these documents, our relationship continues without an extra charge. Your Virtual Estate Plan includes three more meetings with either Julie or Tony - respond to new circumstances or just to chat.

If we act as your Qualified Custodian for any e-Will, there is a $50 fee every year. This fee includes the following:

Your personal digital vault where you can have a copy of every executed estate planning document. And, you can upload any document of your choosing to ensure secure, cloud based storage.

A thirty minute yearly meeting with Julie or Tony. This meeting is additional with your complimentary meetings from your estate plan.

Qualified Custodian services where we secure, manage, store, and protect your e-Will in our secure digital vault. Further, after your death, we ensure that the relevant Probate Court receives your e-Will. Rest assured that we are guarding the most important piece of your estate plan.

We aspire to be your trusted advisor, for both the legal and the emotional aspects of Estate Planning. Creating an estate plan is tough work, and requires a lot of reflection. We are your lawyers and will provide superb legal planning. But we also aspire to be more than a rote document drafter. Instead, we are also a kind ear and listener, letting you figure out what you want your legacy to look like with us.

We are not here to churn out your estate planning documents at a blistering speed, nor are we here to let you lead yourself down the wrong path.

For you, we execute the best estate plan possible while offering the space you need to process this volatile and emotional process.

Hold me closer.
