Estate planning is one of the most important ways to care for the people you love. At Oath Law in Chandler, we help individuals and families create clear, customized estate plans that protect their future and reflect their values. Whether you’re creating a will, establishing a trust, or preparing powers of attorney, our estate and financial planning team is here to guide you every step of the way.
Trusts aren’t just for the ultra-wealthy — they’re practical tools for many everyday families. Many types of trusts — revocable living trusts, irrevocable trusts, and special needs trusts — can allow your assets to pass smoothly to loved ones without the delays, expense, and publicity of probate.
Trusts can also help with asset protection, divorce protection, planning for minor children, or caring for loved ones with special needs. Our Chandler team helps you decide which trust best fits your situation and ensures it’s properly established and funded, so it works when it’s needed most.
A will is a common part of an estate plan. Like trusts, it allows you to decide who receives your assets, name guardians for minor children, and appoint someone to manage your affairs after death. However, wills often do not offer the same level of protection or efficiency as trusts.
Our attorneys in Chandler can help you decide what type of plan best reflects your goals and integrates seamlessly with your financial and retirement plan. We also help you think through key details — like naming backup beneficiaries or trustees and coordinating with your family to ensure your wishes are clear.
A power of attorney is essential in the event of incapacity. It allows a trusted person — your “agent” — to handle financial or legal matters on your behalf. Without one, your loved ones may need to go to court to make even basic decisions, which can take months for guardianship to be granted.
Our Chandler attorneys walk you through choosing the right person, deciding how much authority to give them, and ensuring your document meets Arizona’s legal standards.
What happens if you’re incapacitated and unable to communicate your medical wishes? A healthcare directive (often called a living will) and a medical power of attorney give your loved ones the guidance and authority they need during difficult moments.
We help Chandler clients clearly express their preferences for care and name someone they trust to advocate for them. These documents ensure your medical decisions are made according to your wishes — giving your family peace of mind when it matters most.

Our team in Chandler is committed to making estate planning simple, personal, and effective. Whether you’re starting from scratch or updating an existing plan, we take the time to understand your goals and walk you through each step with clarity, compassion, and care.
1. What’s included in a basic estate plan?
Your estate plan may include a trust, a will, a financial power of attorney, and a healthcare directive. Our Chandler attorney and team can help you decide what you need. These documents work together to protect your assets and ensure your wishes are honored.
2. Can estate planning help avoid family conflicts?
Yes. A clear plan helps prevent confusion, disagreements, and unnecessary legal battles. It gives your loved ones peace of mind and confidence during emotional times.
3. What’s the difference between a will and a trust?
A will goes into effect after your death and often requires probate to distribute your assets. A trust can take effect during your life and helps assets transfer more efficiently and privately. You still maintain full access and control over your assets while you’re alive and well.
4. Can I change my estate plan later?
Absolutely. You can (and should) update your estate plan as your life changes — marriage, divorce, children, a new home, or changes in the law.
5. What is a “durable” power of attorney?
“Durable” means your power of attorney remains valid even if you become incapacitated, ensuring your chosen agent can continue acting on your behalf when it matters most.
6. Should my spouse and I have separate estate plans?
It depends — especially in blended families or second marriages. You can plan together or separately, and our Chandler attorney can help you decide. You’ll likely have similar documents, but each person should have their own will, powers of attorney, and possibly separate trusts.
7. How do I get started with estate planning?
Start with an estate planning discovery call. At Oath Law in Chandler, we’ll listen to your goals, explain your options, and recommend a plan that fits your life and values — not just your legal checklist.
8. Do I need an estate plan if I’m young or single?
Yes. Estate planning isn’t just for retirees — it’s for anyone who wants control over their finances and healthcare. Even single adults should name someone to act on their behalf if they become unable to make decisions.
9. What happens if I don’t name a guardian for my children?
If no legal guardian is named in your will, the court will decide who takes care of your children. Naming someone in your plan ensures your wishes are known and legally enforceable.
