When Harold contacted our firm, he was ready to take an important step he’d delayed for years. His beloved wife had passed away more than 15 years ago, leaving behind jointly owned property in both Arizona and Washington. Although he had continued to live in and manage the properties, her name remained on both titles — creating potential complications for future estate planning and ownership clarity.

He wanted to honor her memory while ensuring his estate was properly organized, but he was unsure where to start or how to manage the process across two different states. That’s when he reached out to the Law Office of Theresa Nguyen, PLLC for help.

When Daniel and his sister purchased a home together several years ago, it was meant to be a shared investment — a comfortable place for both to live and build equity. Over time, life took different turns. His sister married, moved out, and stopped contributing to the mortgage, leaving Daniel and his growing family solely responsible for the payments and upkeep.

Years later, she demanded to sell the property and force a sale that would have displaced Daniel’s family from the home they had lived in and maintained for years.
