Arizona Estate Planning
Phelps LaClair is a local law firm that has been providing estate planning services to its Arizona clients for over 40 years. Phelps LaClair began in the early 1980s when attorney and Arizona native Stephen Phelps hung out his shingle and began preparing Living Trusts for clients when hardly anybody knew what a Living Trust was. Now that Stephen has retired, his son James Phelps, along with firm co-owner Jeffrey LaClair, have the privilege of carrying on the tradition.
Estate planning is what we do – no litigation, no divorces, no bankruptcies – and keeping our focus on estate planning allows us to provide you with top-notch service at fees that are fair and reasonable. We have the knowledge and experience to help you develop estate planning strategies that are carefully designed to protect you and your loved ones, preserve your assets and save taxes.
Most first generation estate planning law firms have very little experience implementing living trusts in real life. But at Phelps LaClair, we don’t just design living trusts on the “front end,” we also implement them on the “back end.” We have the unique experience of having handled hundreds of trusts and estates after people have passed away, which means we know what works and doesn’t when the time comes. This real life perspective helps us avoid pot holes that less experienced estate planners would never even consider. We plan for both the known and the unknown.
