Our 5-Star Reviews

KEYTLaw LLC4.9

Richard Keyt Jr. is one of the most knowledgeable and thorough attorneys I have worked with. We hired Richard to review trust, estate, and loan documents that had been prepared by another attorney. During his review, he identified a significant issue that could have resulted in approximately hundreds of thousands of dollars in unnecessary tax consequences. His analysis likely saved our family an enormous amount of money and gave us confidence that the documents were accomplishing what was actually intended. When revised documents were later prepared, Richard reviewed those as well and identified additional concerns that warranted further attention. His willingness to carefully review every detail and ask the difficult questions provided an extra level of protection that was invaluable. What sets Richard apart is his ability to explain highly complex trust, estate, and tax issues in a way that ordinary people can understand. He is approachable, patient, and easy to talk to. He can support his opinions with statutes and case law, yet he never comes across as arrogant or intimidating. When dealing with important family, trust, and estate matters, you need someone who is willing to look beyond the surface and identify problems before they become expensive mistakes. Richard did exactly that for us. His expertise, attention to detail, and commitment to protecting his clients’ interests gave us tremendous peace of mind. I recommend Richard Keyt Jr. without hesitation. If you are looking for an attorney who combines exceptional legal knowledge with practical, understandable advice, Richard is an excellent choice.
They set up my LLC 5 years ago and have been taking great care of me ever since!

These guys are the real deal. Professional, great service, and take the time to really understand the objective at hand. Years after establishing my trust they still take the time to answer my questions.
Richard’s expertise and guidance made a big difference for us and we would not have been able to do this without his knowledge. He was kind enough to “warn us” that our first 1023 application may not get IRS approval because it wasn’t mission driven enough. That caused us to completely reframe our entire concept and a complete redo of the form and it worked out so well that we actually got approval from the IRS two weeks after submitting our form 1023 along with an expedited request. Thank you so much Richard!
I’ve worked with Keyt Law since 2012, and they are an excellent Arizona business law firm. Richard Keyt and his team have formed multiple LLCs for us, including a complex multi-member LLC with a Buy-Sell Agreement, and made the entire process simple and efficient. I highly recommend Keyt Law for LLC formation, trust formation, and business legal services.
They take care of it so I don’t have to worry about it! Appreciate y’all
Great service, very professional
I’ve now setup several different LLCs with Keyt Law, in addition to knocking out our estate planning. Their process makes it simple and straightforward and the value is there for what we paid. We will continue working with Keyt Law in the future.

A fantastic experience in setting up our LLC in one week! Richard Keyt is very competent and down to earth. I've already recommended him to one of our clients who is also setting up an LLC. Thanks for your help.
KeytLaw LLC helped us set up two businesses and also acted as our Statutory Agent for 7 years. Ow that we are closing down the businesses and moving they also helped dissolve the LLC's. Everything we needed anything they were always responsive and helpful. Would definitely recommend them for any business needs.

Amazing! so easy to work with and loved my experience
We've been very satisfied with everything KeytLaw has done for us. They formed our LLC almost 4 years ago, and a year later they took care of changing its name. Multiple times, I've called with a question, and the head of the company talked me through what I needed to do, with no charge! Truly exceptional service.
Very professional and friendly staff that go out of their way to accommodate you as a client. We are very appreciative of our new LLC and despite its complexity everything was easy to understand thru our constant communication with the Keyt office. Our next LLC will definitely be handled thru the Keyt office to meet all our needs. Best of the best in AZ.

Estate planning isn’t just for the wealthy. It’s about making sure your wishes are followed, the people you want inherit your assets, your loved ones avoids probate, and your loved ones are protected no matter your asset level.

DIY documents often leave dangerous gaps, may not follow Arizona law, and can cause your estate to end up in probate anyway. Our plans are customized for you and legally effective in Arizona.

A will does not transfer assets unless a probate is opened with an Arizona Superior Court. It is effect only after death and only if a probate is opened. A trust transfers assets on your death, avoids probate, stays private, and works if you become incapacitated. We give our clients a will and a trust, but the only purposes of the will are to transfer assets that remain in the name of the deceased to the trust and name who will be the guardian of minor children.

The law of your state of residence when you die, not you, will determine who inherits your assets. Your failure to adopt a will and/or a trust could result in the wrong person or people inheriting your assets. If you don’t plan your loved ones could end up in probate court, facing delays, high costs ($5,000+), and public exposure. Arizona residents can learn who will inherit their assets if the resident dies without a will or a trust by reading my article called “Who Inherits Your Property If You Die without a Will or a Trust.”

A living will states you want to pull the plug is you are brain dead being kept alive by a machine. A healthcare power of attorney names the person who makes medical decisions for you if you cannot communicate with your doctor.

We recommend reviewing it every year, or after major life events like marriage, divorce, a new child, or significant changes in assets or the law.

Yes, but we recommend reviewing it with an attorney in your new state to ensure it complies with local laws.

Unlike a probate, which is public, trusts and other planning tools we prepare keep your affairs confidential and out of the public record.

Yes. You can divide assets however you wish. We’ll make sure it’s clear, legal, and less likely to cause disputes.

We can structure your plan to exclude an heir while reducing the chances of legal challenges in court.

We can design the child’s trust so its assets are managed by someone you trust or a trust company. The trust can distribute assets over time or under specific conditions so the child can’t blow or waste all the inherited assets.

Federal law prevents your lender from calling your loan due just because you transfer your home into a revocable trust. Your mortgage terms stay the same.

We help you create a plan for online accounts, digital files, and even cryptocurrency, so nothing is lost or inaccessible to your loved ones.

For people who die in 2025 their estate does not have to pay federal estate tax unless their net worth exceeds $15 million A married couple’s estate does not have to pay federal estate tax unless their combined net worth exceeds $30,000. All money left by a spouse to the surviving spouse avoids federal estate tax on the death of the first spouse. If the value of your assets exceeds $15,000,000 for a single person or $30,000,000 for a married couple we can do advance estate tax planning to reduce the federal estate tax on the death of a single person or the death of the second spouse for a married couple.
