Margaret Tritch
Principal Attorney
Our experienced Scottsdale probate attorney and estate planning team provides full-service legal solutions for individuals, families, and businesses across Arizona and internationally.
Our estate planning attorneys can help clients plan for the efficient and effective transfer of assets to spouses, other family members, or other persons clients wish to benefit.
The experienced professionals at Tritch Buonocore Law have worked with companies of all sizes, from small start-ups to large publicly held corporations.
We handle a wide range of probate cases and aid our clients in collecting assets, negotiating with creditors, to help our clients find solutions.
Administering a Trust requires a high degree of expertise. Navigating issues with trusts can be daunting, but with a skilled professional by your side, you can navigate them smoothly.
A little bit of planning with Tritch Buonocore Law can go a long way in helping you protect yourself if you are ever sued personally or in your business.
We are uniquely positioned to help clients with assets or family overseas. Our lead attorney has been licensed as a Solicitor of England and Wales since 1998.
Estate planning is one of the most important legal processes you'll undertake in your lifetime. Without proper planning, your loved ones may face unnecessary complications, taxes, and legal battles during an already difficult time.
Protecting your assets from potential creditors, lawsuits, and unnecessary taxation requires sophisticated legal strategies. Our experienced team understands how to structure your estate to provide maximum protection while maintaining flexibility for your needs.
Estate taxes, gift taxes, and income taxes can significantly reduce the wealth you pass to your beneficiaries. Our tax-focused approach ensures your estate plan minimizes tax liability while maximizing benefits for your loved ones.
Your will is the foundation of your estate plan, directing how your assets will be distributed after your death. A properly drafted will ensures your wishes are carried out and can significantly reduce the burden on your loved ones during the probate process.
Our estate planning attorneys craft comprehensive wills that address not only asset distribution but also guardianship for minor children, specific bequests, and instructions for handling digital assets and personal belongings.
A revocable living trust is often the centerpiece of a sophisticated estate plan. Unlike a will, assets held in a revocable trust avoid probate, providing privacy, efficiency, and immediate access to funds for your beneficiaries.
Our trust attorneys design customized trust documents that reflect your specific goals, whether that's providing for a spouse, protecting assets for children, supporting charitable causes, or managing complex business interests.
Powers of attorney are crucial documents that allow someone you trust to make financial and healthcare decisions on your behalf if you become incapacitated. Without these documents, your family may need to pursue costly and time-consuming guardianship proceedings.
Advanced healthcare directives, including living wills and HIPAA authorizations, ensure your medical preferences are known and respected. These documents provide guidance to your healthcare agents and medical providers during critical situations.
Our comprehensive approach includes detailed discussions about your values, preferences, and specific medical situations, ensuring your directives truly reflect your wishes and provide clear guidance to your loved ones.
If you own a business, succession planning is critical to ensure your business continues operating smoothly and provides ongoing value to your family. Our business succession strategies address both the operational and tax aspects of transferring business ownership.
Incorporating charitable giving into your estate plan can provide significant tax benefits while supporting causes important to you. Our charitable planning strategies maximize both your philanthropic impact and tax savings.
With our principal attorney licensed as a Solicitor of England and Wales since 1998, Tritch Buonocore Law offers unparalleled expertise in international estate planning for clients with global assets and cross-border family situations.
International estate planning involves complex interactions between different legal systems, tax regimes, and cultural considerations. Without proper planning, your international assets may be subject to multiple taxation, lengthy court proceedings in foreign jurisdictions, and administrative complications that can significantly reduce the value of your estate.
Our international estate planning expertise addresses these challenges through sophisticated strategies that coordinate your domestic and foreign assets, minimize tax exposure, and ensure efficient administration across multiple jurisdictions.
International trusts can provide significant benefits for estate planning, asset protection, and tax optimization. However, the complex regulations surrounding foreign trusts require expert guidance to ensure compliance and effectiveness.
Our international trust planning services include structure selection, beneficiary planning, tax compliance strategies, and ongoing administration support to maximize benefits while maintaining full legal compliance.
The United States has tax treaties with many countries that can significantly reduce or eliminate double taxation on your international assets. Understanding and properly utilizing these treaties is essential for effective international estate planning.
Our tax treaty expertise helps clients structure their international holdings to take advantage of available treaty benefits, reduce withholding taxes, and coordinate reporting requirements across multiple jurisdictions.
U.S. persons with foreign financial accounts face complex reporting requirements under FATCA (Foreign Account Tax Compliance Act) and FBAR (Foreign Bank Account Report) regulations. Non-compliance can result in severe penalties, making professional guidance essential.
Our compliance services ensure you meet all reporting obligations while structuring your international holdings in the most tax-efficient manner possible.
Effective international estate planning requires coordination with qualified professionals in multiple jurisdictions. Our extensive network of international colleagues includes attorneys, tax advisors, trust companies, and financial institutions across Europe, Asia, and the Americas.
This network allows us to provide comprehensive, coordinated advice that considers the legal, tax, and practical aspects of your international estate plan across all relevant jurisdictions.

Dealing with the loss of a loved one is emotionally challenging. Our compassionate probate attorneys handle the legal complexities of estate administration, allowing you to focus on healing and remembering your loved one.
Probate is the legal process through which a deceased person's assets are distributed and their debts are paid. This court-supervised process ensures that the deceased's wishes (as expressed in their will) are carried out, or if there's no will, that assets are distributed according to state law.
While probate can seem daunting, having an experienced probate attorney guide you through the process can significantly reduce stress, minimize costs, and ensure compliance with all legal requirements.

Being appointed as a personal representative (executor) of an estate carries significant legal responsibilities. Our attorneys provide comprehensive guidance to personal representatives, ensuring they fulfill their duties while protecting themselves from personal liability.
The role of personal representative requires attention to detail, adherence to court deadlines, and careful management of estate assets. We support personal representatives throughout the entire process, from initial appointment through final distribution.
Many estates include complex assets that require specialized knowledge and handling. Our experience with diverse asset types ensures proper administration and maximization of value for beneficiaries.
When an estate includes business interests, careful evaluation and management are essential to preserve value and ensure proper transition.
Real estate often represents a significant portion of an estate's value and requires careful handling to maximize returns for beneficiaries.
