Although there are many ways to pass on your assets, the two most common methods of doing so are a last will and testament and a living trust.

Non-Traditional/LGBTQ Families
Report
Arizona law does not recognize common law marriage or domestic partnership.
Therefore, if you are living as a couple but not legally married to your partner, you may be denied the rights and protections that "traditional" couples take for granted, such as the right to inherit your partner's assets or guardianship of a child in your joint care.
At Kruchek Law, PLLC, we use traditional estate planning techniques in order to provide your partner and your family the protection afforded to traditional couples.

Medicaid eligibility currently requires that a single individual have no more than $2,000 in countable assets and not more than $2,163 of income per month; any assets or income over these amounts may cause the disabled individual to lose Medicaid benefits.
The purpose of a special needs trust is to hold any additional funds over these limits in order to qualify an individual for Medicaid.
