Dana and Associates is a full-service estate planning, probate and trust administration law firm, serving families throughout Arizona, California, and Nevada. We design custom legal plans to help you preserve your legacy by minimizing taxes and simplifying administration by avoiding probate. We utilize the latest strategies with Revocable Trusts, Last Will and Testaments, Health Care Powers of Attorney and Durable Financial Powers of Attorneys to ensure that your loved ones are protected when you can’t be there.
We also provide assistance with the administration that comes after the passing of a loved one. Whether there was a plan in place, or if there was no planning done, we can help you. While the court probate process can be time consuming and complex, we will make the process easy for you and provide you with straightforward solutions.
I define “Family” as the people that you love and care about.
Modern families come in all shapes and sizes; couples that are not married, couples with children from prior relationships, same-sex couples, grandparents raising grandchildren and so much more. At Dana and Associates, the planning process starts by getting to know your family and your goals. Then we will help you design a custom estate plan that meets your specific needs and protects your family.

We have designed thousands of estate plans for all types of families including engineers, corporate executives, business owners, professional athletes, doctors, healthcare workers, and pilots.

Our estate plans have the tools to protect your family and preserve your legacy.

I never thought I would be working in a law firm. I enjoy being an Intake Specialist for Dana and Associates because no two days are ever the same. I love that I get to provide support to attorneys and colleagues every day. With each day, I learn and grow from each person I come in contact with.
