A handwritten will turns up. One family member sees clear instructions. Another sees a reason to challenge them.

Does the will count?

This Berk Brief video explains when a handwritten—or “holographic”—will can be valid under Arizona law and why these documents can spark costly probate disputes.

I never thought I’d feel nostalgic about hauling concrete.

In the early 1980s, I rode my bike to a jobsite at Sandpiper in McCormick Ranch at 4 a.m. I was a high school laborer working for my dad’s company, Berk’s Construction, and this wheelbarrow was part of my day: load it, move it, unload it, repeat.

Those summers taught me to show up, work hard, and take pride in doing a job well. I’ve carried those lessons into my work at Berk Law Group.

A few years ago, I refurbished that old wheelbarrow. You can still see “Berk’s” painted on the side.

Here’s the Berk the Builder video—and a little piece of family history:

Three famous estates. Three common probate misconceptions.

Prince died without a will. Aretha Franklin’s handwritten will was found under a couch cushion. Michael Jackson created a trust.

But none of those facts alone answers the most important question: Does the estate need to go through probate?

In Arizona, the answer depends on the assets, how they were owned, whether beneficiaries were named, and whether disputes exist.

Watch the video to learn which questions to ask first:
