Virtual Estate Planning

Rilus Law is proud to offer virtual legal consultations. If you live in or around the cities of Mesa, North Scottsdale, and Scottsdale, Arizona, or Encinitas, California, we are happy to take a virtual consultation with you to discuss your legal needs and how we can help. Whether you have a busy schedule or mobility issues, our virtual meetings make it easier for you to get your estate plan done.

A virtual introduction is both efficient and convenient when it comes to asking for legal advice and looking for an attorney to help carry out your wishes.

Having a level of trust and comfort with your attorney is not only important, but it is also necessary to ensure a successful working relationship. Our virtual meetings allow you to see and connect with an attorney, as well as allow the attorney to demonstrate different estate planning or estate administration concepts to answer your questions.

What Can the Virtual Meeting Cover?

When it comes to legal matters, you need to have the confidence that you are in expert and trusted hands. At Rilus Law, our team of attorneys is well-versed in the following areas:

What are Our Other Virtual Estate Planning Solutions?

We live in a digital age, which means that your estate plan needs to be tech-savvy and have a digital component. Rilus Law offers a three-part Paperless Estate Planning Solution to inventory your digital assets, give access to digital assets to your successor trustee, and share your estate planning documents electronically.

Step One – Inventory

We include specific language in our trusts, wills, and powers of attorney allowing fiduciaries to request an inventory of all digital assets. The inventory contains the following limited information:

Type of account
Value of the account
Owner of the account
If there was a beneficiary named

This allows the fiduciary to access the information only and not the underlying assets. After they know what accounts exist, they can use the proper legal document that gives them authority over the account. If the account is owned by a trust, the fiduciary can provide the trust to show they have the authority. Or, if it is in the name of an individual, the fiduciary would provide the power of attorney if they needed to access the account.

Step Two – Digital Asset Trust (DAT)

A Digital Asset Trust, or DAT for short, is a type of trust that allows your successor trustee to have limited access to email and other important information that is stored electronically.

Step Three – Digital Vault

After your legal plan is complete, the legal documents need to be stored somewhere safe, where the right people can access them when they need to. Our legal plans include access to a “digital vault” that allows you to store all of your estate planning documents and important information electronically. It also gives you the ability to share the document with whom you want when you want. You can choose to share a copy of it immediately with your successor trustee, Certified Public Accountant, or financial advisor. Or, you can choose only to let them have access after you pass away.

This makes it possible for your family and trusted advisors to access your will, trust, and powers of attorney and important information at any time, from anywhere.

What Our Clients Say About Us

“My wife and I initially contacted Mr. Dana through our company’s legal plan. Given the plan covers much of the cost for wills, trusts, etc. we didn’t expect the level of help we received from Rilus Law. Mr. Dana walked us through the process from start to finish, met with us on multiple occasions to make sure all of our questions and concerns were addressed, and was more than patient with us on completion of documentation on our side. In the end, we now have our trust, wills, powers of attorney, and a digital trust to make sure all of our online pictures and videos are passed on to our children when we pass. We can’t thank Mr. Dana enough for his guidance, knowledge of probate law, and the peace of mind that we now have all our bases covered when the time comes.”
Rob L.
“Great experience with Rilus Law. Attorney Rilus Dana was very thorough in explaining the function of each estate planning document (will, trust, living will, powers of attorney, etc.) and how different situations would be handled. I appreciated how technology-savvy the firm is and that they also addressed issues such as how to direct the handling of your digital assets and what you should do with regard to your online/cloud accounts such as Facebook, Google, and Apple. I especially appreciated having a secure online location for these estate planning documents that can be shared with my successor trustee. I also received a hard copy of the documents with instructions on how I can fund the trust as well as instructions to help my successor trustee know what to do when these documents come into play. Everyone I worked with was very pleasant and responded in a timely manner. I would definitely use them again and would recommend them to a friend!”
Bryan S.
“The team walked us through all the details for setting up a trust, new wills, POAs, digital asset trusts, and data vaults, and it was very efficient and well explained. The team was very patient, thorough, and addressed all of our concerns. I have referred Rilus Law to others in my company and will have all future updates and legal work done with this great team. A very satisfied customer.”
Brad S.
“Would highly recommend Rilus Law for estate planning and probate. Rilus Dana and paralegal Lori Bradford were very professional and explained the estate planning and probate process in great detail and were very responsive in answering questions and preparing the documents to settle my father's Estate and set up a Trust, Living Will, and Power of Attorney documents for my mother.”
Sandy A.
“I hired Rilus Law to prepare a Living Trust for myself, my wife, and young daughter, along with preparing Wills and Powers of Attorney. Throughout my estate planning process, I asked numerous questions both via phone calls and e-mails. Everyone responded either immediately or usually within the same day to answer all of my questions. I am very satisfied with the level of service and legal documents that I received. I highly recommend Rilus Law for all of your estate planning needs.”
