Mesa Estate Planning helps Arizona families and business owners build plans they actually understand, priced up front and built around what matters most.
Most people don't need a more complicated estate plan. They need someone to figure out what actually matters, explain it in plain English, and put it in writing. That's the idea Mesa Estate Planning is built on. The documents are the means. Peace of mind is the point.
We plan for families with young children, business owners approaching an exit, blended families trying to be fair to everyone, and high-net-worth clients managing real complexity. Different situations. Same standard: a plan you understand, built around what you actually want.
We take the time up front to understand your situation, then move fast once we do. Flat fees quoted before you commit, drafts sent in advance, and a firm that actually answers the phone. You never wonder where your plan stands.
We take the time up front to actually understand your situation. Once we do, we move fast — clear answers, drafts in advance, and a firm that keeps you in the loop. Most plans take three to six weeks from first call to signing.
A 30-minute conversation to understand your situation. No sales pitch.
We tell you what we think you actually need and quote the flat fee before you commit.
You review everything before the signing meeting, with plain-English summaries.
We sign, notarize, and give you the exact steps to fund your trust so it actually works.
Arizona is a community property state, and its trust, probate, and creditor-protection rules are specific enough that a plan drafted for a California or Texas family may not hold up here. We practice only Arizona estate planning, and we plan for the realities that are unique to Mesa and the East Valley: multi-generational families, practice owners, real estate portfolios, and blended families where the default rules quietly produce outcomes no one would have chosen.
The goal is never a thicker binder. The goal is a plan that protects what you've built and the people you love, without drama, without surprises, and without paying a fortune to find out whether it works.
Every engagement is personal. You work directly with the attorney writing your plan — not an associate, not a paralegal running a template.
McKay founded the firm because he saw too many families leave other offices with a binder, a big invoice, and no real peace of mind. He works with every client personally, from the first consultation through signing.
He focuses on revocable and irrevocable trusts, asset protection, business succession, and tax strategies for higher-net-worth families. McKay lives in Mesa with his wife Chelsea and their four kids.
