Your Trusted Estate Planning Partner

At Sinchak Group, we specialize in estate planning and administration, guiding you through legal matters with expertise and compassion to ensure your legacy is protected and your wishes are honored.  We offer the necessary resources and expertise to ensure that estates are managed to maximize value while minimizing the burden on families and heirs.

The Sinchak Group is an estate planning company that brings together expert estate planners, estate administrators, estate accountants, paralegals, certified document preparers, and licensed estate planning attorneys to provide Arizonans with affordable estate planning.  We are not a law firm.

Since 2000, the world of estate planning has become hugely simplified.  The United States government's tax on wealth transfers, such as gifts and estate taxes, has disappeared for the majority of the population.  The State of Arizona has abandoned its own estate and gift tax on wealth transfers.  You can now name a beneficiary for almost every type of account, from banks, IRAs, annuities, brokerage accounts, and real estate to automobiles.

Although estate planning has become less complex since then, we have seen the average consultation cost with an estate planning attorney soar to an average of $400.00 an hour in Arizona as of 2024.   An estate planning attorney's flat fee for preparing a Will, Power of Attorney (Financial and Healthcare), Health Care Directive, and Living Will can cost as much as $2,000.00.  A Living Trust can be an additional $3,000.00, bringing your costs up to $5,000.00 or more.  An uncontested, simple probate case can cost a whopping $5,000.00 and can range upwards from there.

At the Sinchak Group, our goal is to bring the right skilled professional to help strategize a plan to suit your specific needs.  Our focus is to always perform work in the most cost-effective manner for our valued clients.  Nevertheless, complex matters often need the involvement of attorneys.  However, we find that the average person can avoid attorneys in most cases.

Probate and Informal Probate

Some matters have to go through informal probate or probate because the deceased did not leave a will or did not transfer certain assets into their trust or will. Other matters can become complex, especially when there is a contested will. In these cases, we will walk you through the process to do it yourself, or we can connect you to the right professional to represent you.

We understand that circumstances are ever-changing and when they do, we're here to help update your current documents or trusts. We can assist you in assuring your wishes are clear to your heirs by customizing your documents and keeping them up-to-date.

Virtual Estate Planning Meetings Available

We understand that some of our clients may have physical disabilities that may prevent them from coming to our offices. Some may be traveling or live part-time out of state. This is why the Sinchak Group is proud to announce our new virtual services.

We can prepare an estate plan using a virtual format from the initial consultation through the final signing for your convenience. We encourage an initial Zoom consultation to ensure against future challenges regarding claims of coercion, or lack of legal capacity. After the initial consultation, we can obtain all relevant information via Zoom, e-mail, phone, or mail.

For final signing, we prefer the clients to be physically present at our offices. If there is a health concern that prevents our clients from presenting themselves physically, we can arrange mobile services to your location. The State of Arizona has allowed Arizona notaries to become E-Notaries and/or Remote Online Notaries, facilitating the signing process for our elderly or infirmed clients, who cannot come to our offices in person.
