The Law Offices of Francisca Manchac, PLLC
Serving Phoenix and all of Arizona
We're a virtual firm, so you can meet with us from home, your office, or anywhere with a phone or computer. Call, email, or text the office, and we'll set up a time that fits your schedule.
Skip the Drive to Downtown Phoenix
Most Phoenix law offices sit downtown. Getting there often means taking the 51 from Desert Ridge or the Biltmore area, the 202 from Tempe or Mesa, or I-10 and I-17 from the West Valley. With our firm, you skip that trip.
Then there's the building itself. Downtown law offices often sit inside large towers with dozens of tenants, and the entrance isn't always on the street your map app picks. Parking adds more time. City meters downtown run from 8 a.m. to 10 p.m. every day, including holidays, and most spots cap out at two hours. Garages charge by the hour, and you may still have a walk once you park.
A 10-Minute Drive That Took 40 Minutes
Francisca knows this trip firsthand. She once had a prenup signing downtown that was a 10-minute drive away. Once she found a spot, paid for parking, and walked to the building, the trip took 40 minutes. That's 40 minutes each way for a meeting that could have happened by video.
It's one reason she built her Phoenix practice around virtual meetings. Your time is better spent on your plan than on the 51.
How You Work With Us Instead
- Meet by video or phone. Your consultation and follow-up calls happen wherever you are.
- Send documents ahead of time. We review your deeds, current will, or business papers before we talk.
- Text the office. Quick questions get quick answers, without waiting for a callback.
- Sign on your schedule. Some Arizona documents need a witness or notary. We explain what each document needs and set up a time that works for you.
What We Do for Phoenix Clients
We focus on planning, drafting, and pre-litigation work. That means we help you put the right documents in place before problems start. Choose a practice area below to see the Arizona services and pricing.
Estate Planning
Wills, living trusts, powers of attorney, and health care directives written under Arizona law. Our will-based plan includes a beneficiary deed, so your home can pass to your family without probate. Three flat-fee packages start at $1,800 for a single person and $3,500 for a couple.
Asset Protection
Separate LLCs for rental and investment property, trust planning, and asset titling that keeps a claim against one property from reaching the rest. Arizona's homestead protection has a dollar cap, so we plan for what it doesn't cover.
Prenuptial, Postnuptial & Cohabitation Agreements
Arizona is a community property state. Without an agreement, state rules decide what's separate and what's shared. We draft and review prenups, postnups, and cohabitation agreements so you and your partner set those terms yourselves. Agreements start at $1,500.
Business Law
LLC and corporation formation with the Arizona Corporation Commission, contracts, partnership agreements, private lending documents, and fractional general counsel for Phoenix small businesses. Projects start at $250.
Residential Real Estate Law
Purchase contract reviews, lease agreements, owner financing, new construction contracts, landlord packages, and title issue guidance for buyers, sellers, landlords, and investors. Services start at $500.
Arizona Rules That Shape Your Plan
Arizona law works differently from other states, including Texas, where our firm also practices. These rules affect how we draft your documents for Phoenix clients.
Signing a will
What Arizona law says
Two witnesses must watch you sign, then sign within a reasonable time.
Why it matters to you
We walk you through the signing steps for each document and arrange the witnesses and notary.
Your home and probate
What Arizona law says
A beneficiary deed lets your home pass to the people you name. It must be recorded before death.
Why it matters to you
Your house can skip probate without a trust, as long as the deed is recorded on time.
Homestead protection
What Arizona law says
Your home is protected from most creditors up to $400,000, adjusted each year for inflation.
Why it matters to you
If your home is worth more, an asset protection plan needs more than the homestead rule.
Series LLCs
What Arizona law says
Arizona LLCs can't form separate series.
Why it matters to you
Landlords usually need a separate LLC for each rental to keep properties apart.
Postnups
What Arizona law says
Since Sept. 12, 2026, a postnup can be thrown out if it was signed without full knowledge of the property and rights involved, or if it isn't fair and equitable.
Why it matters to you
Full financial disclosure and careful drafting matter more for Arizona postnups than ever.
Living together
What Arizona law says
Arizona doesn't recognize common-law marriage formed here, but courts can enforce unwritten agreements between partners.
Why it matters to you
Arizona doesn't recognize common-law marriage formed here, but courts can enforce unwritten agreements between partners.
Private loans
What Arizona law says
Arizona doesn't recognize common-law marriage formed here, but courts can enforce unwritten agreements between partners.
Why it matters to you
The rate and terms need to be written down clearly before money changes hands.

Phoenix FAQs
Something else on your mind? Call or text
Do you have an office I can visit in Phoenix?
We're a virtual firm, so we don't keep a walk-in office in Phoenix. You meet with Francisca by video or phone, and you can text the office any time you have a question.
Do I have to drive downtown to work with you?
No. Your consultation, document review, and follow-up all happen by video, phone, or text. You won't need to take the 51 or the 202 into downtown, find a building, or pay for parking.
Do I need to meet in person?
Usually not. Consultations, document review, and most communication happen online. Some Arizona documents need a witness or notary when you sign. We'll explain the signing steps for your documents and set up a time that works for you.
What parts of Arizona do you serve?
We serve clients in Maricopa and Pinal Counties, including Phoenix, Scottsdale, Mesa, Chandler, Gilbert, and San Tan Valley. Because we work by video, we also help clients anywhere in Arizona, from Tucson to Flagstaff.
Where does my beneficiary deed get recorded?
With the county recorder where your home sits. For most of our clients, that's the Maricopa County Recorder or the Pinal County Recorder. The deed must be recorded before death to work, so we make sure that step doesn't get missed.
Do you go to court?
No. We handle planning, drafting, negotiation, and pre-litigation work only. If your matter needs a lawsuit or court hearing, we'll refer you to outside counsel.
I moved to Arizona from Texas. Do I need a new estate plan?
Often, yes. Your Texas will may still be valid, but Arizona uses different forms and signing rules for powers of attorney and health care directives. Because we're licensed in both states, we can review your Texas documents and update them for Arizona.
Is the first consultation really free?
Yes. Every new client gets one free 30-minute virtual consultation. The consultation doesn't create an attorney-client relationship. Representation starts once you sign an engagement agreement.
How much does a lawyer cost through your Phoenix team?
Most matters are flat fee. Estate planning packages start at $1,800 for a single person and $3,500 for a couple. Prenups start at $1,500, business projects at $250, and real estate services at $500. You'll get an exact quote after your free consultation.
