Plan for the future today so you and your loved ones can enjoy tomorrow.

It’s easy to plan for what you want to happen but true peace of mind comes from knowing your plan will prevent what you don’t want to happen.

Protect your loved ones.

Plan for the future.

True peace of mind.

How do you know your plan will work the way you want it to after you’re gone?

  • Have you updated your estate plan based on the most recent changes in the law?
  • Does your estate plan minimize the income taxes your beneficiaries will pay?
  • Are you worried about a loved one running out of money due to long-term care?

How do you know your current estate plan prevents what you don’t want to happen?

Don’t leave it to chance.

A good estate plan means peace of mind for you and your loved ones.

Protect your loved ones.

Protect them from the bad things that can happen to good people.

Plan for the future.

Ensure your estate plan meets your needs AND those of your loved ones.

True peace of mind.

Know that what you want to happen will happen and what you don’t want to happen won’t.

The Law Office of David I. Karp

I became an estate planning attorney at the age of 40 because I’ve been where you are—wanting to protect my family. When a recommended attorney created my wife’s and my first plan, like most estate plans, it would not have protected our loved ones if anything went wrong in their lives after we passed away. And we were unaware of the potential vulnerability—we didn’t know what we didn’t know. Now I know better and am determined to ensure our clients have a plan that works as they intend even if life throws a curve ball.

✓ 10 years of experience
✓ Hundreds of satisfied clients
✓ Accredited VA attorney
✓ A go-to ALTCS resource for Tucson estate planning attorneys

Our team includes a former ALTCS employee, a Veteran, and other field experts. You don’t know what will happen to your loved ones after you’re gone but you can plan to protect against the curve balls that may come their way. We can help.

I've seen and worked with the Karp team on a lot of different plans and they do an outstanding job."

Beyond the simplifications, David Karp is kind, considerate, and above all, caring. Thank you to all of you in this law office for your support and dedication."

-Linda D.

"Law Offices of David I. Karp are very professional and responsive. They worked on my parents' Estate Planning and ALTCS Application and they were efficient and would respond to my emails within hours. They explained the process very well and it was a delight to work with such a caring attorney and a great support staff."

-Nicole B.

"Super person and lawyer!!!
After the loss of my mother, Shanelle was very caring and sympathetic, which helped me cope with the loss of my mom. She is very professional at what she does--she guided me through the process without pressuring me to do anything I did not want to do. That being said, the whole team there has my respect. I will have her as my attorney for as long as I need one! Thank you, Shanelle and team!"

-Cary S.

"Professional, Patient, Knowledgeable
Shanelle Schmitz helped my husband and I with our estate planning and she was a joy to work with. Shanelle was patient with us and answered every single question we had, making us feel at ease every step of the way. She was knowledgeable and thorough in her preparation of our documents. She was always professional and kind.

-Client

"My wife and I had an amazing and wonderful experience while dealing with both David, and his assistant Meredith. They both worked together with us to make the entire “Trust Creation” process as smooth, painless and efficient as possible. All of our questions and concerns were answered in a clear and concise way, and we were made to feel totally comfortable throughout. I have already recommended David’s services to several of my friends, and plan to continue to do so."
-Michael Hawkins

"Intelligent. Knowledgeable. Diligent. Thoughtful. Thorough. Honest. Ethical. Based upon my experience in having been represented and advised by Mr. Karp in a relatively difficult and complex case, these are the adjectives I would use to describe him; and, based upon this experience, I would recommend him to anyone seeking counsel within his field of expertise."
-G.S.

"It was a pleasure using the legal services of Mr. Karp. He was almost always immediately available for any questions I had and if he was not available right away he promptly got back to me with a response. He was not only knowledgeable and professional, but kind and patient with a client who had many questions and concerns. I would not hesitate to use his services again or to recommend his services to family and friends."
-Hope K.

"In all my dealings with David I found him not only knowledgeable, but meticulous and responsive, answering questions thoughtfully - and patiently - whenever contacted by me. Moreover, he dealt with the estate issue handled on my family's behalf with great sensitivity and insight. There was no time in our dealings, and most particularly at the conclusion of the matter he handled for us, that I didn't fully appreciate what a fine attorney he is. I recommend him and his practice as an estate planning attorney unequivocally."
-P.T.

"I have a special needs child, so my estate planning needs are very specific and different than most. David knew exactly what to do to protect the interest of ALL family members (even including future generations) far beyond my knowledge and previous understanding of our needs. I say previous knowledge and understanding because he thoroughly explained every possible scenario and legal relevance until I was completely comfortable with it. So now, I have the knowledge as well. He pointed out things I had never dreamed of, than safe guarded us from them. His brain is a magical machine that is dedicated to your particular case and every tiny detail is included. His team is just as amazing as he, and you can tell that the whole office staff is happy to be there. Each person was obviously distinctly chosen for not only their talents, but for their ability to blend well with the team and clients alike. I had spoken with 2 other attorneys prior to finding David and they were ok, but once I met with David, I quickly realized how run of the mill they were. NOT David! He is just phenomenal at his job! He blows everyone else out of the water! I highly recommend him! Worth every penny!"
- Client

"David was very helpful in taking us through Estate Planning and creation of our family trust. He explains various options in easy to understand terms over multiple meetings and his suggestions allowed us to structure our trust with better options for our family to administer upon our passing. His team is very professional in preparing the various documents and thoroughly reviewing them with us. We also appreciated the online cloud service for storing our documents which is a great benefit for our Estate Executors in the future. The cloud service is easy to use in updating and adding documents to our file. David also provides options for future updates to our Trust plan that we plan on continuing. We highly recommend David and his team."
