What Sets RJP Estate Planning Apart

Build a plan that actually works in Arizona, with education, attorney-drafted documents, funding guidance, and lifetime support for your family.

Experience That Actually Matters

Decades of real Arizona outcomes

Thirty years in business and more than forty thousand clients mean we have seen plans tested in real life, not just on paper.

We have witnessed clients through every stage, from initial design to implementation, life changes, and estate settlement. That real-world cycle produces practical solutions that anticipate problems before they arise.

The true cost advantage

Most clients pay approximately fifty percent less than traditional estate planning law firms while receiving attorney-drafted documents.

This is not about cutting corners. The difference comes from efficiency and scale, with streamlined processes and volume relationships with licensed Arizona attorneys. You get top-tier legal drafting and full-service support without paying for layers that do not add value.

Comprehensive Service Model

Support that continues after signing

Where many providers stop at documents, we deliver a complete service ecosystem.

• Lifetime complimentary reviews every three to five years.
• Automatic notification and document updates when laws change.
• Complete funding assistance by estate planning specialists.
• Power of attorney medical ID cards.
• E-Vault storage and USB flash drive backup.
• Prepaid settlement support package.
• Notary services.
• Asset protection guidance.
• Successor trustee support with personal guidance.

The funding difference

One of the most critical and frequently neglected steps is proper trust funding.

Many firms draft excellent documents but provide minimal guidance on transferring assets into the trust. We include comprehensive funding sessions where specialists explain exactly how to fund assets and align beneficiaries with your goals and concerns. For a deeper dive, see our step-by-step trust funding guide.

Ongoing Risk Management Approach

Planning that sees the whole picture

Estate planning is about more than documents. It is comprehensive risk management.

We examine how your plan integrates with insurance coverage, investment strategies, and retirement income. This big-picture review often reveals gaps or conflicts that single-purpose advisors miss.

Attorney Partnership Model

Experienced counsel with flexible delivery

RJP partners with licensed Arizona attorneys who focus on estate planning.

Lead attorney Clint Smith brings over thirty years of experience and authored Estate Planning: A Plain English Guide to Wills and Trusts. This partnership model provides specialized legal drafting while our team delivers the end-to-end service most firms cannot offer.

Local Expertise with Statewide Reach

Arizona focused, client centered

We are locally owned and woman led, with offices in Scottsdale and Tucson and the ability to serve families statewide.

We understand Arizona estate law, probate procedures, and local court systems. For background on key choices, compare trusts vs wills and review our Arizona probate guide.

The Settlement Support Advantage

Complimentary successor trustee support

When a loved one passes, we meet with your successor trustee at no additional cost and guide them through each step.

This support turns a stressful checklist into a clear path. We explain responsibilities in plain English and help your trustee avoid common mistakes that slow everything down.

• Early orientation, what to do first and which documents to gather.
• Asset roadmap, how to locate accounts and verify titles.
• Practical transfers, working with banks, brokers, and insurers.
• Property steps, deed guidance and coordination for real estate.
• Bills and claims, handling expenses and creditor letters carefully.
• Timing awareness, what to expect in the first thirty, sixty, and ninety days.
• Distribution planning, aligning final distributions with the trust and keeping records tidy.

We also point to helpful education so your trustee feels prepared, including our Arizona probate overview for timeline context. The goal is simple. Make the work lighter, keep the family steady, and complete the process with confidence.

Succession Planning and Longevity

Built to be there for your family

With forty thousand clients and thirty years of operations, our systems and succession planning support long-term relationships.

Unlike small practices that may not survive long term, our model provides continuity and stability.

Technology and Accessibility

Modern convenience, personal service

Secure document storage, digital access, and remote signing options increase convenience without losing the personal touch.

Your plan stays organized, easy to retrieve, and simple to update.

Specialization Focus

Estate planning is our core

Our entire business centers on estate planning and risk management.

Every system, process, and team member focuses on delivering superior estate planning outcomes, from asset titling details to trustee preparation for the first ninety days.
