Rose Law Group pc, Arizona’s largest woman-founded law firm, is pleased to announce the addition of experienced probate attorney James X. Theut as Chair of the firm’s Probate Law Department, expanding the firm’s services for individuals, families, fiduciaries, and business owners navigating estate and trust matters.

Theut brings extensive experience in estate and trust litigation, probate and trust administration, guardianship and conservatorship litigation, and professional fiduciary representation. He has represented successor trustees, personal representatives, beneficiaries, and other fiduciaries in complex trust and estate controversies throughout his entire career. 

“Probate, trust, and other fiduciary matters are becoming more complex and more common,” said Theut. “Clients need counsel who can guide the administration of trusts and estates, provide candid cost-benefit advice, and litigate contested matters when disputes cannot be resolved. I’m excited to join Rose Law Group and bring the firm’s depth, resources, and full-service platform to my clients.”

Theut was also recently appointed Judge Pro Tempore for the Maricopa County Superior Court.

The addition of the incredibly well respected Theut strengthens Rose Law Group’s private client services, complementing the firm’s estate planning, asset protection, business succession, and wealth transfer capabilities, while providing clients with comprehensive representation in both estate and trust administration and litigation.
