Frequently Asked Questions

What Does a Will Do, and Do I Need One in Arizona?

A last will is a foundational estate document for any Tucson, AZ estate plan. Your will performs several crucial functions, such as naming beneficiaries and indicating how you want your estate distributed. The will also indicates people who will play vital roles during estate administration. For example, you’ll need to name someone to represent you when executing your estate, also known as the personal representative or executor. The will can also indicate who you want to care for minor children if both parents pass away. Contact our law office immediately for help from legal professionals who can help you craft the perfect will for your unique circumstances.

What Kinds of Trusts Can I Choose From for My Arizona Estate Plan?

A trust is a powerful estate planning document that can shield your estate from probate and provide greater flexibility as you pass down your assets. For example, you can dictate whether you want minor beneficiaries to receive their inheritance all at once or slowly over a long period of time. Depending on the type of trust you choose, you may still control your wealth while you’re alive, such as in a revocable trust. Alternatively, you may choose an irrevocable trust, which offers greater asset protection but is difficult to alter. Some other options include a charitable trust, where you gain tax advantages and leave funds for your favorite charity, or a special needs trust, where you can provide for a loved one with special needs without interfering with their eligibility for public assistance.

What Is a Living Will?

A living will indicates how you want your medical care handled if you can’t communicate due to injury, illness, or age. It may offer answers to such questions as whether you would submit to artificial breathing methods, feeding tubes, and resuscitation. Having such answers on hand can be highly beneficial to family members at a time of stress and anxiety if you become incapacitated. If you think a living will is right for you, please contact our legal team for help setting up one of these important documents.

How Can Your Attorney Help with Estate or Trust Litigation?

At Doug Newborn Law Firm, PLLC, we are happy to help resolve conflicts arising during estate administration. Ideally, we can help the personal representative or trustee administer their duties properly to avoid a conflict. However, we understand that sometimes legal action is unavoidable. Our aggressive, knowledgeable litigation attorney is ready to take on your case and fight for your best interests. We’ll gather evidence to back up your version of events and help resolve the issue quickly to save you time and money.

Why Do I Need a Lawyer if I’ve Been in a Car Crash?

Contrary to popular belief, you probably won’t get full compensation by merely filing a claim with the insurance company following a car crash. Most insurance agents are simply seeking to minimize their costs and close the case as quickly as possible. With our committed, skilled legal team by your side, you can have increased chances of recovering damages in full. We’ll prove liability, gather evidence, and offer emotional support throughout the legal process so you can focus on resting and recovering.

Why Are Trucking Accident Cases So Complicated?

Semi-truck accidents are notoriously dangerous. A fully loaded commercial vehicle’s massive size and weight can pose a devastating threat to smaller passenger vehicles. Victims of these crashes may find it difficult to recover from the high medical bills, lost time at work, and severe emotional trauma. The trucking company may also pressure the victim to take a lowball settlement. Finally, it can be challenging to discover the at-fault party since multiple parties could be to blame in a truck accident. Call Doug Newborn Law Firm, PLLC, for excellent representation in your truck accident case.

What Rights do I Have as the Loved One of a Victim of Wrongful Death?

Families of deceased victims have legal rights that should be protected in a wrongful death case. If your loved one died because of another person’s negligence or recklessness, please speak with our Tucson lawyer right away. We’ll help investigate and discover the reason for the accident, including finding evidence that backs up your claim. Some damages you could recover include medical bills, lost income from the deceased person, lost wages from your time missed at work, funeral and burial expenses, and emotional distress.

At Doug Newborn Law Firm, PLLC, we offer a unique perspective from our lead lawyer, a veteran and former Air Force JAG. Attorney Newborn has been using his skills of honesty, commitment, and compassion in his many years of practicing law.
