Estate Planning Attorney Now Available In Scottsdale

The Law Office of Libby Banks, PLLC is providing estate planning services to individuals of significant personal value. Headed by Libby Banks, the firm’s areas of focus extend to trusts, irrevocable trusts, trust administration, probate and estate planning.

Estate planning is essential for those who wish to exercise control over the fate of their assets and affairs following their passing. It acts as a legal framework through which their wishes will be respected and executed as intended, and the best way to guarantee this is to work with a lawyer who is experienced in estate planning. As an estate planning attorney in Scottsdale, Libby Banks has the knowledge and experience required to ensure her client’s wishes are followed through after they pass away.

“At The Law Office of Libby Banks, PLLC,” states Banks, “we go much further than simply helping you to draft a document regarding your intentions for your property. With our knowledge of local laws and our time representing clients in countless cases, we understand what it takes to avoid both the legal and personal pitfalls that many unfortunately fall prey to. We can help you maximize how much of your estate goes to your heirs, for instance, protect it from unscrupulous parties and so on. The best time to talk to your estate planning lawyer and confidant is today.”

Banks points out that this process is designed to serve all parties regardless of the status of their health. While it may seem reasonable for a person to consider estate planning only when they are in poor health or are otherwise compelled to do so, it is highly recommended that they take the earliest opportunity to visit their lawyer to create or update their estate plan.

For one, this ensures that their wishes will be both known and respected if they were to pass away unexpectedly, but it can also come into effect if they are incapacitated to the point they are unable to make decisions on their own. In such circumstances, an estate plan can lend structure to the disposition of their assets (to trustees, beneficiaries, specific purposes and more) where it might otherwise have been determined by the government.

This is another reason many choose to work with Libby Banks. Without an estate plan, an individual’s assets will be managed and distributed in accordance with the law, and there is no guarantee that this will reflect their personal wishes or objectives. Similarly, the decision of who receives power of attorney in difficult circumstances should be made from a position of understanding, clarity and minimal stress. The firm can assist in this regard (among others), walking a client through any concerns they may have — or may have missed.

The firm’s commitment to their clients has led to a host of positive feedback from the community. Examples of this will be proudly shared by the team upon request, but several testimonials can also be found on online platforms. As Dale P. shares, “Our original Trust was set up in 1997. If you have a trust, then you know how complex that process is. Well, in 2019, my wife and I decided to have our trust updated to comply with new laws. Thank goodness we did. Important legal issues had changed, so we were so happy and satisfied having the update done. But, most importantly, we found Libby Banks and staff to take on the work, and we are so pleased with the outcome.”

He continues, “The Libby Banks staff was extremely helpful, knowledgeable and answered all our questions, and we had many. Libby herself was as professional as one could be. We are extremely satisfied with her work and will recommend her every chance we get. Thanks, everyone at The Law Offices of Libby Banks.”
