LOCAL EXPERTISE
North Scottsdale based Ganser Law Offices is committed to providing our clients with professional and effective legal representation. Because our practice focuses only on “private client” matters affecting individuals, families, and their businesses, we are focused on getting to know you personally and understanding ways that we can assist in solving a problem, closing a deal, or planning for you and your family's future.
AWARDS & ACCOLATED
ESTATE PLANNING, WILLS, TRUSTS & FAMILY WEALTH PRESERVATION
Hopefully we’ve all been told at some point in our life that everyone needs a will. We take this advice a step further by taking the time to understand you, your family dynamics, your assets, your wishes, particular concerns for members of your family, your values, and the legacy you hope to leave. By utilizing a holistic approach focused on the education, our goal is to collaboratively create a comprehensive custom estate plan to address your individual needs -- we do not simply create an expensive stack of paper.
While traditional "estate planning" generally deals with the inheritance of assets, probate avoidance, incapacity planning or avoiding the inevitable financial and administrative burden that will affect your trusted loved ones, our experience designing and implementing sophisticated income, gift, and estate tax planning and other wealth preservation techniques ensure that you and your family will achieve your personal estate planning goals, while also achieving the most tax efficient outcome.
PROBATE & Trust Administration
At the end of life, settling the affairs of a loved one is a difficult but necessary task. We offer competent representation in dealing with the intricacies of the probate and trust administration process, including when court intervention is necessary.
REAL ESTATE TRANSACTIONS
Real estate is often a substantial asset in any individual, family, or business portfolio. That is why we specialize in real estate transactions, including the negotiation and preparation of documentation of leases and purchases of real property.
If you have an existing business or are seeking to start a new business, we can assist your business throughout its life cycle.
Whether you are establishing new entities, documenting contracts with partners/vendors, negotiating and documenting agreements between business partners, creating a succession plan to transfer control of a business to a trusted family member, or successfully negotiating the sale of business, we are here to help.
ARIZONA TRANSACTION PRIVILEGE/USE TAX (ARIZONA TPT)
Arizona business owners, large and small, have the "privilege" of dealing with Arizona's version of the sales tax, otherwise known as the Arizona Transaction Privilege/Use Tax ("TPT"). While it may be appropriate to call our Arizona sales tax system as "arcane", "byzantine", or "complex", Ganser Law Offices has considerable experience helping both Arizona and out-of-state individuals and businesses comply with this complex area of Arizona law.
CALIFORNIA ESTATE PLANNING & PROBATe for arizona based clients
Because we are one of the few trust and estate firms in Arizona who are also licensed in California we have considerable experience working on California specific matters. Specifically, we are able to act as local Arizona based counsel for Arizona based clients dealing with California specific legal issues.
Our California practice focuses on Estate Planning, Probate/Trust Administration (including the preparation of Heggstad petitions), and California Property Tax (i.e. Proposition 13 tax issues).
