The Law Office of Libby Banks, PLLC

Scottsdale, AZ

Libby Banks is an estate planning attorney serving Scottsdale, North Phoenix and the wider Phoenix area, working in wills, trusts, probate and estate administration. The firm's framing is a simple one: you can choose what happens, or the state will choose for you. Arizona's default rules decide who inherits, who speaks for you in a medical crisis and who manages your affairs if you cannot, and those defaults are built around a particular assumption about what a family looks like. A plan is how you replace an assumption with an instruction. That covers a will or living trust, powers of attorney for finances and healthcare, and the documents that let a partner be present and heard in a hospital. Where a plan is already in place, the firm handles probate and trust administration so the people left behind are not learning the process during the worst week of their year. Consultations are free, which makes it straightforward to find out whether what you have still says what you want it to say.
