Legal Question in Wills and Trusts in Washington

Re: probate,trusts,wills & estates

I agree with Mr. Steuart's answers: Both that the trust is likely still valid AND that it would be a good idea to have your estate plan reviewed nonetheless. Arizona also may have different state estate tax laws. In addition, your other estate planning documents may need revisions -- health care power of attorney and/or Living Will.

Remember, I'm an attorney but I'm not YOUR attorney. Only a thorough review of your situation by a competent attorney after an attorney-client relationship has been established will result in an informed legal opinion.

You may want to get it reviewed, but in all probability you don't need to do anything. In general documents prepared that conformed to the laws of the state of residence of the person and the state in which they were prepared at the time of their preparation continue to be valid without regard to what state the person may now reside.
