The wealth you accumulate during your lifetime touches on virtually every aspect of your personal, family and business life. And because your individual circumstances are unique to you, Life Planning, Inc. (“LPI”) in Arizona helps to lead you through a unique, holistic, consultative approach that results in a clear understanding of your options and a straight path to achieve the outcomes you desire.
For families, our comprehensive Estate Planning solution includes Last Wills and Testament, a comprehensive Living Trust and Powers of Attorney for financial and healthcare matters. Together, these documents are designed to work together in dove-tail fashion to help keep your estate out of Probate and protect your assets for future generations.
Without proper planning, your family and your assets are vulnerable to the costs and delays of Probate, not to mention the potential for conflict between family members. If any of your family members have ‘special needs’ of some kind, it’s particularly important to spell out your wishes in a way that won’t disqualify them from receiving all the government benefits they are entitled to.

As a homeowner, your ownership interest in the property is evidenced by a Deed of some kind, like a Grant Deed, Quit Claim Deed, Warranty Deed or Special Warranty Deed.
In addition, great care is required in selecting the way you own the property with another person: Joint Tenancy or Community Property with or without Rights of Survivorship, Tenants in Common or Tenants in the Entirety. The different types of deeds and co-ownership details reflect your legal rights to the property and can have starkly different outcomes, many of them unintended, costly, even heart-breaking. LPI can help you navigate the complexities around transferring ownership and taking title to real property, avoiding unintended consequences that can prove costly and harmful to your heirs.
Title Companies routinely refer their clients to LPI who need help with deed preparation outside of escrow and other Life Planning needs. Let us help you with real estate transfers between spouses, family members, Trusts and LLCs.
