Establishing a Living Trust is the Best Way to Leave Property Upon Death

In 2017, over 45,000 people died and left their loved ones with the troubling process of distributing their property and assets. Some of those who passed away were lucky enough to have already gone through estate planning and had their affairs in order before they passed, many were not prepared. Even though it is a tough conversation to have and…

Distribution of Trust Assets to Beneficiaries

In the state of Arizona, trust administration is governed by ARS Title 14 Chapter 7. Trusts are incredibly useful estate planning vehicles, but they come with a fair number of complicating factors. For most people, it’s best to draft your trust with an experienced estate planning attorney and a qualified financial advisor. Without these professionals’ assistance, transferring assets to a…

My wife and I needed to find a probate attorney in Arizona, due to the unexpected death of our son. We lived in Wisconsin, so we needed to rely on recommendations from friends. Ryan Hodges was recommended, and he responded immediately to our phone call request for his services. Ryan guided us thru the probate process very professionally, which we had no idea ahead of time was going to be a long process. I served as personal representative of the estate, and Ryan guided me thru the process with great skill, compassion, and availability at all times. Because of his work, the probate process was made much easier and understandable. His work made my wife and I feel very supported during this difficult time. I highly recommend Ryan Hodges and JacksonWhite Law for probate work.

I was fortunate to come to Mr Hodges at Jackson White Law because it was the law firm used by a friend. I live out of state and was faced with being a trustee of an estate of a deceased friend.I knew nothing about this type of law, but Mr Hodges guided me throughevery step of the process. He answered questions quickly and responsibly. He made suggestions that were helpful and wise. The estate is now settled and I couldn't be happier with how smoothly the process went with Mr Hodges overseeing it all. I would recommend this firm without any hesitation.

Pace Rawlins has been my lawyer since the beginning. He was there when I started filling my K-1 Visa and now that I am a U.S. Citizen I just want to thank and congratulate him for all of his hard work. He never got tired of helping me and he was always there for me on my interviews. Pace Rawlins is a great man. He is very easy to talk with and very supportive. Whenever I asked him questions he was always available to give me answers without hesitation. He is dedicated to his job and has a passion for helping people. I cannot thank him enough and Jackson-White Law Office. Thank you!

Ryan Hodges was very helpful and returned emails promptly. My initial cold call with Ryan was informative and trustworthy. He gave straight answers. It's the reason I chose him to represent my mother's estate.I had spoke with another firm, in town, that wasted a long time getting my information, setting up a $75 consult fee that resulted in vague answers that were meant to scare me (slimy) into using their extremely overpriced fee for a simple estate.

I'm a veteran who had his ADA rights violated have a right to sue letter from the EEOC but, they don't do free consultation? What's the point in laws and rights if you can't afford to enforce them?

Ryan Hodges was such a huge help to us. When my sister in law passed we didn’t know where to even start. We called him and he got on the ball right away. We live out of state so he took care of all the court processing and filling out all the paperwork for us. When we had questions he would get back right away and always had the answers. He got us through this troubling time with professionalism and we couldn’t have gotten through this without him and JacksonWhite Law firm.

Can't say enough good about Ryan Hodges and his assistance with my dad's missing Trust paperwork. He provided me with an excellent suggestion and details on how to potentially find the attorney who originally drafted up the Trust. His ideas came through and we now have the Trust in hand and can avoid probate! Thank you Ryan for helping during a challenging time.

I had the pleasure of meeting Colton in early 2019 during a very dark time in my life. I found myself having to fight for the well being of my elderly mother who suffers from late stage dementia and a sibling that was taking advantage of my mom financially and mentally . Prior to meeting Colton in person he was the one person who actually took the time to listen to my story with compassion and empathy. He helped to guide me through the process and offered his expertise. Colton is someone I will always be grateful to and will never forget. He is genuine in everyway and treats you like human being with feelings unlike alot of attorneys in the field. If you are looking for someone who truly cares and will fight for what's right, I highly recommend him.Thank you Colton for everything. You lifted my spirits when I was down and gave me the confidence to move forward and gain guardianship of my Mom.

My mother passed away in January, left no will and had a house in Buckeye. Since I live in California, I had no idea what I would need to do to settle the estate. I Googled probate attorneys and found a couple that I contacted. One wanted $6500 and the other didn't return my call at all. I then contacted Ryan at JacksonWhite. Wish he was my first call! Their firm charged $3500 and I was able to talk to Ryan, himself, the same time I called. Ryan was very helpful and patient, answering my many questions I had throughout the process. I would absolutely recommend Ryan and JacksonWhite to anyone is a similar situation.

Ryan Hodges at Jackson White Law Firm made the probate/estate process for my late husband much less scary than I had anticipated it would be (due to my lack of previous knowledge of how the process works - fear of the unknown!). I was overwhelmed with a seemingly insurmountable to-do list related to my late husband's affairs, but it quickly became apparent what a tremendous blessing it was to have Ryan on board to take care of this big item on my plate. He was professional, courteous, and highly responsive, answering my questions, providing detailed step by step instructions all along the way, and never making me feel like an inconvenience to him. I would highly recommend Ryan and the Jackson White Law Firm to anyone in need of estate and/or probate services!

Ryan Hodges did an excellent job in handling the probate process for my mother's property in Phoenix. Due to the restrictions brought about from Covid-19, this process had to be handled remotely & Ryan made sure everything went smoothly.

My family was in a very difficult and complicated situation following my mothers death. all her assets where taken by the power of attorney for my mother. an attorney I knew recommended I call Ryan Hodges at Jackson White and Assoc., This was the best advice I could have received. After having a meeting with Ryan I was confident he was the right person to handle this horrible and stressful situation my family was in. Ryan got all the money back set up the probate process and was by my families side handling all Questions and situations as they arose. On behalf of my family , We want to thank Ryan Hodges and his team for getting us through this terrible situation.

Ms. Weeks is truly a wonder of a woman who can take any level of heaviness of a case and reduce it to being no lighter than a feather. After consulting Jackson White Law for misdemeanor charges thrown at me, she took over my case and literally handled it like a Boss. It took her only a few weeks(during the midst of the height of the pandemic in Phoenix) to relieve me of this case and essentially end the prosecution against me. My case has not completed its full course yet, so everything is not official but that's only due to the matter of time of going to court to make its completion official. In consideration of what she was up against, I confirm as a direct client that Ashelee will step strongly to any potential legal battle and wrestle it down to submission, serving me like a champion who serves her audience that pays to see an awesome performance. Needless to say I am very happy with Ashelee's handling of my case and I know for a fact that anyone else who is fortunate to have her will have the same if not better experience.

I work in the senior care industry. A few years back, I was in a situation with a loved one and Jackson White walked me through what I needed to do and helped me the whole way. I refer to them now constantly. Thank you Jackson White staff and thank you Daniel Nunez for all of your help and support over the years with my day to day job. I appreciate you all!

From a fellow law breaker- GO WITH THIS FIRM. Wade and Adam got me exactly what I was wanted. They both respond quickly to messages and are non judgmental. I went with another firm and was offered 1 year jail- This firm got a deal of me just paying a small fine. Seriously. Sit down with them.

I just wanna say Atty.Pace Rawlins is the best out of the best!! He is such an amazing and great guy. He made impossible become possible. Such a committed man when it comes to his work. We’re from the Philippines and he helped me and my brother experience what American dream is. So there’s three of us and the two of us are here now, so one more to go and I’m 100 percent sure that Atty.Pace can get my other brother too. So if you’re looking for a great immigration lawyer? Look no more, he is the right guy and trust me on this one!

I engaged Attorney Ryan Hodges of Jackson White in AZ, to assist me in settling my brothers estate. I live in MA and have no knowledge of AZ law.Attorney Hodges did a tremendous job from start to finish. There were no unexpected surprises from start to conclusion. He explained everything in great, easy to understand detail as to what to expect and what I needed to do. His responsiveness to questions were always received the same day. And regarding fees, I felt they were reasonable with no hidden or unexpected fees or expenses. I highly recommend Attorney Hodges for handling your estate needs.
