Question<\/strong>:\u00a0 “I am an Arizona resident who owns an interest in an Arizona LLC.\u00a0 Who will inherit my LLC if I die?<\/p>\n

Answer<\/strong>:\u00a0 It depends on whose inheritance plan is used.\u00a0 If you have a Will or a Trust then you determine who inherits your LLC and other property.\u00a0 However, if you do not have a Will or a Trust, the State of Arizona’s inheritance plan will govern.\u00a0 If Arizona’s inheritance plan is the same as yours then the right people or charities will get your property in the proportions you have specified in your Will or Trust.\u00a0 Unfortunately it is very common for a person’s desired heirs to be different than Arizona’s plan of inheritance.<\/p>\n

Do not leave your loved ones unprotected and at the mercy of Arizona’s law of inheritance.\u00a0 Sign a Will or a Trust and insure that your loved ones will inherit according to your plan, not Arizona’s plan.<\/p>\n
