About
Empowered Legacy Planning, founded in 2008 and based in Chandler, Arizona, is a law firm focused on estate planning, trusts, probate and trust administration, guardianship and conservatorship, and business planning. The firm designs, implements, maintains, and settles customized estate plans, avoiding template documents and aligning asset titling and beneficiary designations with each plan. Services include wills and trusts, powers of attorney, health care directives, trust maintenance, and guidance for families administering estates after incapacity or death. The team also coordinates business succession and integrates business interests into clients’ personal estate plans.
Attorney Kristel K. Patton leads the practice and is licensed in Arizona, Arkansas, and Missouri. She is a member of WealthCounsel, the state bar associations of Arizona, Arkansas, and Missouri, and the East Valley Estate Planning Council, and has served as president of the Chandler Horizon Rotary Club.
Empowered Legacy Planning works with clients across Arizona and assists those with multi-state needs. Clients often come with existing documents; the firm reviews and updates plans and educates clients and their fiduciaries so documents function as intended. The goal is a clear, complete plan that is kept current and administered efficiently when needed.
