When someone dies, becomes incapacitated, or is taken advantage of financially, the legal questions come fast. Arizona law handles each of these situations differently than most states. These free tools help you understand where you stand before you schedule a consultation.
Each tool was developed by the attorneys at Berk Law Group based on the analysis we perform in actual Arizona estate, probate, and vulnerable-adult cases. They are specific to Arizona statutes, cover community property rules, and reflect how our courts interpret these issues.
Why we built these tools
Many clients arrive not knowing the right questions to ask or the relevant information to provide. These tools may help. Exploring how the law may apply to your situation leads to better conversations and more informed decisions. And we believe that educated clients make for more productive consultations. These tools are a starting point, not a substitute for legal advice.
- Specific to Arizona. Arizona has its own rules around community property, vulnerable adult protections, and incapacity. These tools reflect how Arizona law actually works.
- No forms, no gate, no catch. No email, no phone number required. Use the tools freely. If you reach out afterward, that is always your choice.
- Built by our attorneys. The logic and explanations reflect how our legal team analyzes these matters in actual cases, reviewed as Arizona law evolves. However, this is not a substitute for legal advice and our attorneys may disagree with the results from these quick assessment tools.
- Information not saved or sent. We do not save your inputs. The tools are for your general information.

Who These Tools Are For
Our tools are designed for Arizona residents and families dealing with estate, inheritance, or vulnerable-adult matters. Whether you are a surviving spouse trying to understand intestate succession, a family member concerned about financial exploitation of an elderly parent, a caregiver evaluating whether guardianship or conservatorship is appropriate, or a personal representative wondering if probate is required — these assessments give you a starting framework grounded in Arizona law.
How Our Tools Work
Each tool walks you through a short series of questions — typically 5 to 10 — and provides a plain-language summary of how Arizona law may apply to your answers. We do not collect your information, require an email address, or store your responses. The tools run entirely in your browser.
The results are educational, not legal advice. Arizona estate and probate law involves fact-specific analysis that no online tool can fully replicate. If your results suggest you may benefit from legal counsel, you can request a consultation with our team.
