SCOTTSDALE’S TRUSTED ESTATE PLANNING & PROBATE LAW FIRM

ESTATE PLANNING & FAMILY WEALTH PRESERVATION

Your estate plan should be more than documents in a drawer. At Ganser Law Offices, we take a different approach than traditional law firms—spending unhurried time understanding your family, assets, and values. Without the pressure of hourly billing, we focus on education, answering your questions, and carefully tailoring every document to your unique situation.

Beyond traditional wills and trusts, we design sophisticated plans that address asset protection, probate avoidance, incapacity planning, and seamless wealth transfer. With Mr. Ganser's LLM in taxation and deep experience in wealth preservation, we implement advanced income, gift, and estate tax strategies that preserve significantly more wealth for your family.

Our collaborative approach ensures you understand every strategy we recommend, from creditor protection to complex tax planning. Whether implementing straightforward revocable trusts, asset protection trusts, or sophisticated multi-generational structures, we take the time to get it right. The result is a personalized estate plan that protects your wealth, minimizes taxes where possible, and ensures your legacy unfolds exactly as you intend.

PROBATE & TRUST ADMINISTRATION

When you're responsible for administering a loved one's estate or trust in Arizona, you need experienced guidance through this complex process. We provide compassionate, attorney-led support for executors, trustees, and beneficiaries navigating probate and trust administration throughout Maricopa County. Our non-litigation approach focuses on efficient court filings, proper creditor management, tax coordination, and smooth asset distribution while helping families work through difficult dynamics with care and professionalism.

BUSINESS SUCCESSION & ENTITY PLANNING

Your business deserves planning that integrates seamlessly with your estate planning goals. We help business owners create sophisticated succession strategies that minimize taxes and ensure smooth transitions. From entity formation and governance documents designed with future transfers in mind, to buy-sell agreements and advanced ownership transfer techniques, we coordinate every aspect of your business planning with your broader wealth preservation objectives. Whether you're starting a venture, planning your exit, or transferring ownership to the next generation, we ensure your business legacy is protected.

CALIFORNIA ESTATE PLANNING & CROSS-BORDER EXPERTISE

As one of the few trust and estate firms in Arizona also licensed in California, we bring unique value to clients with connections to both states. We provide virtual California estate planning services for California residents, even those without Arizona connections. For Arizona residents with California assets or families moving between states, our dual licensing enables us to create estate plans that properly address multi-state considerations and ensure seamless coordination across state lines.

REAL ESTATE PLANNING

Real estate often represents your most valuable assets and requires special attention in estate planning. We handle the property documentation that makes your estate plan work—from trust funding and deed preparation to sophisticated strategies like QPRTs and family sales. Our services focus exclusively on estate planning-related real estate matters: transferring properties into trusts, documenting intrafamily transactions, and implementing tax-saving property strategies. This ensures your real estate properly integrates with your overall estate plan.
