 Our Popular Legacy Trust Portfolio Profile and Order Page
We proudly present this new profile page to help you learn more about the individual documents contained in our popular Legacy Trust Portfolio

Here, you can discover important information about each document and why they are included in our popular "Legacy Trust" document series. 

You can also fill in any gaps in your present trust or estate planning system and actually order our individual quality estate planning legal documents as needed. Or, you can find updated replacement documents here you may feel are necessary if your current estate planning or trust documents have not been updated recently or since you moved to Arizona.  (Or otherwise conflict because your situation has changed) 

However, if  your net estate assets are below $75,000 or if you feel a Living Trust is not best suited for your estate planning needs, we also offer our popular "Legacy Will Portfolio" which has all of the same individual documents as our Trust Portfolio, but comes instead with a quality and custom drafted "LAST WILL" instead of a Living Trust.  You can read more about this portfolio at:

The "Legacy Trust Portfolio"

Complete Estate Planning System

The complete estate planning system for Arizona residents wanting maximum protection for their hard earned estate assets.  The system was professionally designed and refined over a 20 year time period (so far) to help provide the greatest chance of having your estate planning wishes fulfilled exactly as you planned them. 

By purchasing the complete planning system from Financial Strategies, Inc., you will increase the odds that what "you say" will be "what is done" after your death.  And, at the lowest estate administration costs possible and lowest time delays humanly possible.

This Complete Portfolio Includes:

Initial consulting for information to draft a comprehensive Revocable A/B (Convertible) Living Trust Portfolio -- our New ATC 2010+ edition. This complete trust portfolio is for a married couple who have up to $ 7,000,000 in assets, and all single clients. (under current laws as of 6/21/10)

Note: Changes may be imminent in federal estate tax law. Starting in January 1, 2010, current law exempts all estates from estate taxation, but sunsets back to $1,000,000 starting in 2011.  In this example, we assume the freezing of 2009 values for exemption will become new law as proposed under certain pending proposals. (but can not know for sure at this time)

Also, included are these important legal documents or documentation in our "Legacy Trust" Portfolio:

Abstract (Certificate of Trust), Schedule "A" of Trust Assets, Trust Asset Update Sheets, Asset Transfer Documents including Deeds and Assignments, Pour-over Will, Living Will w/Medical Directives, Durable Health Care Power of Attorney, Mental Health Care Power of Attorney, Durable General Power of Attorney, Anatomical Gift Election, Autopsy Election, Tangible Personal Property Lists, Financial Planning Letters, Review Letter, two types of Transfer Forms (both asset and beneficial), service/amendment forms and a Personal "Legacy" statement.

Also, we provide additional language for large IRA owners, including IRA Sub-Trust options as well as interstate and international jurisdiction language so that your trust and other documents are ready for your travels wherever you go!  In 2010, we also write custom language to protect against unknown estate tax law changes.

Additionally, we provide a full set of instructions that include a checklist for settling the estate, when that time comes. As a little benefit to show our appreciation, we also give you a free gift of Trust "Letterhead" stationary, a set of designer pens and two (2) plastic I.D. cards (Billfold Size).

We continue to offer free photo corrections and inserts to personalize your new estate documents. Just send any digital pictures by e-mail attachment to: service@webfsi.com.

Along with your Legacy Trust, the package also includes the recording fees for one (1) ARIZONA real estate property transfer. Additional "IN--STATE" properties are billed at $45 each. All forms and instructions are provided so that the completed documents are ready for signing when you receive them!

Lastly, we give you an additional binder called "Estate Documents Portfolio for Estate Planning", which is for "copies" of all of your investment and personal papers. The Trust Portfolio refers to this book, and where your "original" documents are located.

The Legacy Trust Portfolio

(Living Trust - Stand Alone Trust Only)

Our single person trust is over 40 pages long and our marital trust is now around 50 pages.  If you have a thin trust, or are price shopping -- be sure to ask how many pages you are going to get.  Having a larger estate (over $500,000) and trying to protect it with a thin or cheap trust is like packing a custom van full of people and suitcases and going on vacation with tiny little cheap tires on the rims.  This is YOUR life... protect it well!

The Legacy Trust Portfolio

(Arizona Living Will)

The modern Arizona Living Will contained in our Trust Portfolios protects against the situation of becoming terminally ill, or maybe even worse -- incurring significant mental incapacity in an otherwise healthy body. 

We all could find ourselves in harms way in this manner and thus be caught in a coma we may never wake up from. Or to be awake but incur brain damage that would cause us to become disabled or even "brain dead".  Some say the worst "living hell" would be to be awake with greatly diminished mental capacity yet not die from such a situation.  (Life saving artificial means are automatic for health care workers unless you have properly rejected them by signing a Living Will prior to the event)

The Legacy Trust Portfolio

(General Durable Power of Attorney)

The Arizona Durable General Power of Attorney (ADGPOA) instrument is a "money care" document.  It helps protect your money when you aren't able to make good, sound mental financial decisions.  If you are married, most would name their spouse for this duty. If you are single, you can name a child, relative, advisor or friend to serve.  

But, remember this will result in the same procedure as handing your checkbook, debit card or credit cards to someone else and asking them to pay the bills and manage your money for you.  Of course, they are no "empowered" only during the time you are disabled or unable to function mentally.  You DO want to be cautious who you name as your agent for this document. You DON'T want to give these powers to just anyone unless you know they can do a good job for you.

      What most don't understand is that this is one of the most important legal documents you can possess in the state of Arizona!  Without it, things can get out of control and expensive, very, very quickly!  You see if the court is made aware of your disability (financial institutions and their staff are required to report suspicious activity under the law), the control you so commonly assume you have when you are well is instantly transferred away from you under Arizona statutes!
