Page 20 – North Central News April 2017 Ask the Lawyer TAKING CARE OF BUSINESS What happens if I die without Q a Will or a Trust? 602.249.1328 When a person dies, their assets must be distributed. If a person fails to create a will or trust, their property will pass via the state laws of intestate succession. Every state has a specific set of laws providing a sort of default will. First, any assets held jointly will pass to the remaining joint owner(s); any assets with beneficiary designations will pass to your designated beneficiaries. If an asset does not have a joint owner or a beneficiary, the asset will be subject to Arizona's intestacy statutes and, potentially, probate.

Generally, it is a good idea to have your plan reviewed if: 1. Your plan was not created in Arizona. 2. Your plan was created more than four years ago. 3.
