Arizona-Based Attorney Licensed in Both States

With over 600,000 individuals in Arizona who have ties to California, and thousands of California residents considering Arizona relocation, families need estate planning that works seamlessly across state lines. Ganser Law Offices provides expert California estate planning from our Scottsdale office, offering the convenience of local counsel with California estate planning legal expertise.

Why Cross-Border Estate Planning Matters

For Arizona Residents with California Assets: California's unique community property laws, Proposition 19 property tax rules, and trust requirements create planning complexities that Arizona-only attorneys cannot address. Without proper California-compliant planning, families risk probate court proceedings, property tax reassessments, and administrative complications.

For California Residents Considering Arizona: Arizona's favorable tax environment, lower cost of living, and business-friendly climate attract thousands of California families annually. Whether you're actively planning a move or simply exploring Arizona as a future option, early estate planning coordination protects your interests and positions you for a seamless transition when the time comes.

For California Residents Seeking Arizona-Based Counsel: Many California residents prefer working with Arizona-based attorneys who understand both states' requirements without the overhead and complexity often associated with California legal services. Our virtual consultation model provides California residents access to experienced dual-state counsel with Arizona's practical, client-focused approach.
