Murphy's Law


As the saying goes, "...if things can go wrong......they will!" But we are going to be here for your surviving loved ones when they do. We can be reached very easily, through our toll free number, regular number, or even by E-mail. We have received many calls over the past fourteen years, and every time we act as a phone "coach", to tell the surviving relatives and/or successor trustees exactly where the can find the correct information they will need in order to settle the estate of the loved one that has passed away.  ( I wonder how many Henry Abts III  trust books I have helped him sell all these years)

Though we can not answer legal questions requiring legal advisory, we can direct them to the correct educational information that has most of the answers.  And, we provide a nice checklist in our estate planning documents that help a lot at the time of need.    

Estate settlement is the final tier of our commitment to you, even when you are gone. We take great pride in providing an accounting  service that you can count on.  Many clients who trust us with their estate plan have told us that they have better peace of mind knowing that we are committed to provide the long-term estate planning services they need!

Specifically, our firm provides accounting services only in estate administration.  This starts with audit and inventory and appraisal co-ordination of all estate assets.  Next, it includes filing any legal documents that do not require legal opinions or advice as determined by you (the client).  

Lastly, it includes co-ordination with all other financial advisors that may include lawyers, etc. so that the estate may be settled in the shortest time possible.  

What about fees? 
It's simple, we charge a flat $150 per hour for all accounting or related estate consulting services and simple expense reimbursement.

Be sure to look for the "on-line" discount for service orders that are prepared while in our site, if your estate settlement involves a deceased Arizona resident.
