Fantastic Estate Attorney

Ryan worked with me for 4 years on this estate. Always patient and great advice. We had to wait for over 13 months for the IRS to send a final payout, with no response, letters or any other communication from them. I highly recommend Ryan's services. My hats off to you.

Probate nightmare

My brother passed away on May 30, 2023. He did not have a will and had no property so I thought it was going to be easy. Before passing he was a resident of the Arizona Veterans Home. Unbeknownst to me, he had taken money out of the bank and took it with him to the Veterans Home. They put it in a tru...st for him to use but he did not have me as a beneficiary. When he passed they issued a check to "THE ESTATE OF" instead of directly to me, which the bank would not touch without me being named administrator of his estate. Which is why I needed to go the Probate route. This being all new to me I was pretty clueless on how to proceed. I did some research on Probate attorneys in the area which is where I found Jackson White. Now there were tons of probate lawyers in my search but I looked at their website and liked what I saw which is why I chose them. Ryan Hodges was the attorney assigned to me. He took the time to walk me through step by step what I needed to do. My siblings were, shall we say, less than cooperative at times as it was new to them as well. Ryan took the time to explain in simple English what needed to happen and was very patient with us throughout this process. I was finally named as the Administrator. The process took awhile but was finally able to get the check deposited into an Estate account that was set up. Funds have been disbursed and the 6 month nightmare (at least for me) has been resolved. My thanks to Ryan and his firm for getting me through a very stressful 6 months. I will definitely choose them again in the future should the need arise.

Probate help

Ryan was very responsive and helpful opening up a probate for me. He explained all the facts and details of how the probate works and took care of all the details. Ryan quickly answered all my questions and concerns along the process and kept me informed as the probate progressed.

Probate Help

Worked with Ryan Hodges for our probate needs when my aunt passed. He was timely, professional, and very clear in his instructions. The total price for his services were also extremely fair. Thanks, Ryan!
