Trusted Scottsdale Estate Planning Attorneys

Protect Your Most Valuable Assets – Your Loved Ones – with a Trust & Estate Plan

If you die without a will or a trust, your state of residence determines who will inherit your assets, and the wrong person or people may inherit your assets. If you fail to adopt a will or a trust, your loved ones will pay the price. If you don't have a trust, your heirs may have to do an expensive (we charge $5,000 for an uncontested Arizona probate), time-consuming public Superior Court probate to transfer your assets to your statutory heirs.

The State of Arizona has a law that specifies who inherits the assets of an Arizona resident who dies without a will or a trust. This law may cause the assets of Arizona residents to be inherited by the wrong person or people. To learn who will inherit your assets if you are an Arizona resident who dies without a will or a trust, see “Who Inherits Your Property If You Die without a Will or a Trust” and take my short online quiz, “Who Will Inherit Your Property.” If the wrong person or people would inherit your assets, you need to hire us to prepare a will or a trust that leaves your assets to the person or people you want to inherit the assets, not to the people Arizona gives your property to.

Working with Keyt Law has been an exceptional experience from start to finish. I actually discovered them through ChatGPT after asking for the top LLC & Trust attorney in Arizona—and they truly lived up to the recommendation. Their reviews speak for themselves, and I found their team to be knowledgeable, responsive, and incredibly easy to work with. They made the entire process clear and straightforward. I’ll absolutely be referring all my friends and family to Keyt Law!
Mike K.
WOW what a class act and a true professional that you would be lucky to have represent you with their impeccable reputation!
Mr. Keyt has helped me on two occasions beyond what I thought an attorney would ever do to help a street kid get to the next level!
His son is remarkable plus he is a CPA and they have helped far better protect my assets while helping me to decrease my tax liabilities.
I couldn’t be happier with my new home in AZ due to the incredible people and the beautiful weather, just the best state in US!
I sleep well knowing the Keyts will be my representation for the rest of my days right here in my beloved home in AZ!!
Thank you both I appreciate you more than I can articulate here to do it justice…

Absolutely wonderful people to work with. They created my trust documents quickly and were very professional. I was referred by a friend and have been referring Keyt Law to my friends as well. Affordable, professional, friendly, knowledgeable and extremely helpful. I would highly suggest calling them for your estate planning needs.

KEYTLaw helped me form my LLC and they were fast and it was painless. They formed the LLC the same day I initially called them.

Richard Keyt has created 2 LLC's for me over the past 10 years and is the Statutory Agent for both of my LLC's. He is easy to get ahold of. His systems are streamlined and simple. And he keeps me abreast of any new laws that affect me. I trust Richard implicitly and would refer him to anyone who is starting a business, wants an attorney to set up their LLC correctly, and ensure that they stay in compliance moving forward.
KJ K.
We've used Keyt Law for many things and they are always at the top of their game!
Mike M.
They set up an LLC for me. It was painless and all done electronically. Happy Camper!

I recently had the pleasure of working with Richard Keyt to create two LLCs, and I cannot recommend his services enough. From start to finish, Richard demonstrated an exceptional level of professionalism, responsiveness, and expertise that made the entire process seamless and stress-free.

What truly stood out was his ability to address all of my questions and concerns promptly and clearly. No matter how detailed or complex my inquiries were, Richard took the time to provide thorough explanations, ensuring I felt confident every step of the way. His responsiveness was remarkable – I never had to wait long for answers or updates, which is a rare and highly appreciated quality.

The process of forming the LLCs was incredibly fast, yet nothing was rushed or overlooked. Richard’s attention to detail and his deep understanding of the legal intricacies made it clear that I was in the best hands.

If you are looking for someone who is knowledgeable, efficient, and genuinely dedicated to helping you achieve your goals, Richard Keyt is the person to call. Thank you for making this experience so smooth and for providing such outstanding service!

Highly recommended!

Keyt Law is lights out one of the best options to form and manage legal entities. Richard helped us get an LLC off the ground in literally hours and let us secure a great investment. Very easy process and very informative. LLC's, estate planning, and just good advice. If you are considering forming any legal entity, Richards Services are a no brainer. We have used him several times and keep coming back.... And he answers his phone!!
Thomas R.
KEYTLaw made setting up an LLC as easy as possible with a well documented step by step process. Highly recommended.

Keyt Law has set up many LLC's for me over the years. They always provide efficient and quality service.

I found KEYT law via a web search and later was also referred by a trusted friend who has used their services a few times. I can't say enough good about them. The process of creating an LLC and trust was painless, straightforward, and affordable. Richard explained things to me in non-legal terms that I could understand during my free consultation, and within 24 hrs both the LLC and trust were set up. Communication is fantastic, and their experience speaks for itself. I am deeply grateful I was guided to them, and will continue to recommend their excellent services!
Debbie L.
Keyt Law was professional, informative and very efficient. They made the process simple and thorough. We will use again and recommend to others. Thank you for your assistance in getting us started with our new company, we appreciate you!
Ananda S.
These guys are great. I had multiple phone calls with them to answer questions. They set up my Trust and private LLC. I'm super happy. Thanks.
Thomas S.
My contact with Keyt Law started with online scheduling of a meeting to discuss my needs for setting up my corporate entity. Ricky was very knowledgeable and knew which questions to ask to determine my needs. It was a no non-sense experience and very little time was wasted. There was no pressure or upselling, just a discussion about what Keyt Law offers and which product suited my needs. I’ve started various corporate entities and trusts in the past. The questionnaire that is sent to be filled out was extensive, detailed and exhaustive. The experience was excellent.

Keyt Law seems to have setup a process which takes a systematic approach to formation of various legal entities. When I see this, I feel more comfortable with the process given the detail and context in the process described above. “They know what they are doing.”

Given the costs of doing business these days, I can say that I’ve found quite a bit of value in the follow-up emails. They are educational in nature and have guided me through an increasingly complicated process of forming corporate entities. They range from IRS tax election of corporate entities to FinCEN management and corporate lease/real estate issues to survivorship and succession.

You get hard copies of all of the documents and relevant materials mailed to you when the process is far enough along, and documents are presented in a high quality and professional manner.

Overall, I’d say there is a lot of value to be had here. I think Ricky is quite capable and I’m guessing the apple didn’t fall far from the tree - I’ll bet his father is just as sharp.

Will definitely be a repeat customer when the time comes. Thank you, Ricky, for what you do.
anitta H.
Very responsive from the first phone call to the actual formation of my LLC. I was impressed by all of the free information available on the KEYTLaw website and they are just as helpful by phone. I got overwhelmed by the nuances of knowing what to do to form my LLC on my own but I am glad I found KEYTLaw. They did in a few hours what was taking me over a week to do. The daily alerts are really helpful as well because there are "after formation" tasks that need to be completed, so I appreciated the reminders.
Steve H.
Richard and his staff at KeyLaw, LLC were great to deal with in setting up our LLC. Their responses to our questions and concerns were addressed quickly and the entire process was extremely smooth...a very good team!

Richard and his team is very experienced and knowledgeable in helping us to form LLCs.

We were able to discuss with Richard and had all our questions answered within days from contacting the team.

My husband and I have been researching the LLC laws and law firms for asset protection for a while. We had discussions with a few online companies including a nationally well-known company before making decision to go with KeytLaw. Some of them recommended overly complex LLC structures with a huge setting cost and on-going maintenance fee. We eventually decided to go with KeytLaw because of Richard's experiences and knowledge about Arizona Law, their accessibility, and their fee structure. We are very happy with the decision to go with Richard and plan to use their service for estate planning in the future.
Alyson L.
I would recommend KeytLaw for any legal services they need! They helped me form my LLC and it was very straightforward and quick I called and talked to both Richard and his son in regards to some questions that came up and they were very helpful. I will be returning for their help in the near future for my estate planning.

The Keyts make it so painless to take care of your estate planning needs. With one reasonable flat fee for a package of documents you are all set.

When a business has 5 stars on Google, do not hesitate. There is a reason. Amanda and Michelle are an absolute pleasure to work with and they work so quickly. My business is reality now thanks to this team.
