The two documents your family cannot afford for you not to have.
If something happened tomorrow, would your family know what you wanted — and would the law respect what you said? The Legacy Protection Plan answers both questions, in writing, in seven days.

The Legacy Protection Plan is built around the smallest possible set of documents that does the most possible work. No bloat. No upsell. Just the foundation every household should have in place.
Your Will, in Writing
What you own goes where you decide. Not where Arizona's default formula decides. Not where the court guesses. Where you, in writing, said it should go.
Your Healthcare Voice
If you can't speak in a medical crisis, the person you trust speaks for you — and they speak with the authority of a document the hospital must honor.
Your Family, Protected
Both documents work together to keep the people you love out of court arguments, hospital waiting rooms, and the kind of paralysis that only comes from not knowing what you wanted.
Your Last Will & Testament.
The single document with more legal weight in your life than any other. It's how you speak to your family after you're gone.
Your Will is the legal instrument that tells Arizona, your family, and the probate court exactly what you wanted. Without one, Arizona law writes a default plan for you — one that splits assets by formula, ignores stepchildren, leaves out friends and charities, and assigns guardianship of minor children by judicial discretion. Your Will replaces that default with your actual decisions, drafted to Arizona standards and legally binding once signed and witnessed.
The clarity your family needs in their hardest moment.
- Names a personal representative — the person you trust to handle your estate, file your final tax return, pay outstanding bills, and distribute what you owned.
- Designates beneficiaries — specific people who receive specific things. Your sister gets the heirloom ring. Your daughter gets the savings account. Your friend gets the watch. Without a Will, none of that is enforceable.
- Names contingent beneficiaries — backup recipients in case a primary beneficiary passes before you do. Closes the gap that creates probate disputes.
- Nominates a guardian for minor children — your written preference for who raises your kids if both parents are gone. Courts take this seriously when it's in writing.
- Records specific bequests — heirlooms, jewelry, vehicles, sentimental items. The things that cause family arguments when they're not assigned in writing.
- Provides clear distribution rules — equal shares, percentages, conditions, or any structure you choose. No guesswork, no interpretation, no family conflict.
The legal mess your family avoids by having this in place.
- Intestate succession. Arizona's default inheritance formula — which doesn't know your family, your blended situation, or your wishes.
- Court-appointed strangers. Without a named personal representative, a probate judge appoints someone — often a public administrator who charges fees and has no relationship to your family.
- Guardianship fights. If you have minor children and no Will, multiple family members can petition for guardianship — and a judge decides between them in court.
- Heirloom disputes. The grandmother's ring, the watch, the wedding china — the items families fight hardest over are the ones most often left out of informal plans.
- Estranged relatives surfacing. Arizona's intestate rules can pull in siblings, cousins, and half-relatives you haven't spoken to in decades.
- Delays and additional cost. Probate without a Will takes longer and costs more than probate with one. Every extra month is more legal fees out of what your family inherits.
You're not just signing a form. You're answering questions your family will otherwise have to answer for you.
Who handles your affairs after you're gone. Who raises your children if you can't. Which family members get what. Which charities receive what. What happens to the business. Who's specifically excluded and why. How disputes are resolved. What happens if multiple beneficiaries pass before you do.
The Legacy Protection Plan captures all of these decisions in a single Arizona-compliant document, drafted by a Licensed Legal Document Preparer who has prepared hundreds of them. It's not a template. It's drafted for your situation.
Your Advance Healthcare Directive.
The document the hospital needs when you can't tell them yourself. Two functions in one form — the most important medical document you'll ever sign.
This single document does two essential jobs. It records your end-of-life treatment preferences — what care you want, what care you don't — so that hospitals and doctors are obligated to honor your wishes. And it appoints the specific person you trust to make medical decisions on your behalf if you can't speak for yourself. In Arizona, both functions are combined into one notarized document with two roles working in tandem.
Removes the impossible decisions from the people who love you.
- States your treatment preferences in writing — life support, feeding tubes, resuscitation, comfort care, organ donation. Each decision documented so your family doesn't have to guess.
- Names your healthcare agent — the specific person you trust to speak for you. They have the legal authority to make decisions that match your stated wishes.
- Designates a successor agent — a backup decision-maker if your first choice is unavailable, unable to act, or has passed.
- Records your end-of-life philosophy — your values, your priorities, what quality of life means to you. The context your agent uses when an unanticipated decision comes up.
- Specifies religious or spiritual considerations — care preferences related to your faith, end-of-life rituals, who should be contacted.
- Hospital-recognized format — drafted to Arizona standards, legally binding once notarized and witnessed. Hospitals are obligated to honor it.
The default-state nightmare every family wants to avoid.
- Guesswork at the worst moment. Without a directive, your family is asked questions they have no way to answer. Did you want to be kept alive on machines? They don't know. Now they have to guess — and live with that decision.
- Family conflict at the bedside. When multiple family members have different opinions about your care, and no document settles it, hospitals can refuse to act until consensus is reached. Time you don't have.
- A stranger making medical decisions. If you're single, divorced, or have no clear next-of-kin, the hospital appoints an ethics committee or seeks court guardianship — a stranger making your medical decisions while your friends and family wait.
- Aggressive intervention by default. Without written end-of-life preferences, most hospitals default to maximum intervention — ventilators, feeding tubes, resuscitation — regardless of whether that's what you'd have chosen.
- Indefinite legal disputes. Families have spent years in court fighting over treatment decisions for a loved one. Almost all of these cases would have been prevented by a single signed directive.
- The Terri Schiavo problem. The most public version of what happens when there's nothing in writing. Don't leave your family in that position.
The questions your family hopes they never have to answer — and that you can answer for them, in advance, today.
Whether you want to be kept alive on a ventilator. Whether you want feeding tubes. Whether you want resuscitation. Who you want speaking for you. Who you want excluded from those decisions. Whether you want to donate organs. Whether you want hospice care, or aggressive treatment until the very end. What quality of life means to you, in writing, so the people who love you don't have to interpret your wishes.
The Legacy Protection Plan captures every one of these decisions in an Arizona-compliant document, drafted to be recognized and honored by every hospital and care facility in the state.
