Richard Keyt formed the KEYTLaw law firm in 2001 when he left one of Arizona's largest law firms because he believed he could get clients from his website. Rick has been practicing Arizona law since 1980. He provides the following types of legal services: (1) preparing wills, trusts and estate plans, (2) forming Arizona limited liability companies (9,500+ since 2001), (3) forming Arizona nonprofit corporations (500+) and obtaining their IRS tax exemption letters, (4) preparing and reviewing contracts to buy and sell businesses, (5) preparing and reviewing contracts to buy, sell and lease Arizona real property, and (6) preparing and reviewing business contracts.

Rick and his son are the authors of an informational book called “Family Asset Protection,” which people say is a great way to learn about wills, trusts, and estate planning.  This free book is full of helpful illustrations.  Its purpose is to teach people how to protect their most valuable asset – their loved ones – from their death or incapacity.  See the contents and prices of his two estate plans and his wills & trusts website.

Rick represents start-ups and established businesses in a wide variety of business legal matters, such as forming new companies, commercial contracts of all types, and general legal issues. He assists companies in adopting Buy-Sell Agreements, which are essential for all valuable companies because they contain the owners' exit strategy after a death, disability, or other triggering event.

He has extensive experience representing business buyers and sellers, borrowers, and lenders in loan transactions. At one time, Rick was the Arizona attorney for one of the largest banks in the U.S. in connection with its loans secured by Arizona real estate.

Rick has represented buyers and sellers of raw land, commercial, residential, office, shopping centers, and industrial real estate, including multi-million dollar securitized loan transactions.

Rick is the author and creator of all of the KEYTLaw websites.  Rick's second book is the “Arizona LLC Operations Manual,” a 170+ page that explains legal and practical issues that arise in the operation of a limited liability company.
