Origin: Three Decades in Estate Planning
Troy McNemar earned his undergraduate degree summa cum laude from Washburn University of Topeka in 1988, then his J.D. from the University of Kansas School of Law in 1991, the year he was admitted to the Arizona Bar and began representing Arizona clients in estate planning, probate, trust administration, and guardianship and conservatorship matters.
Practice Areas
McNemar’s practice covers estate planning, probate administration, trust administration, and adult guardianships and conservatorships. He is a member of the Central Arizona Estate Planning Council, Valley Estate Planners, the Planned Giving Roundtable of Arizona, and the Alliance of Arizona Nonprofits — professional affiliations that reflect a practice with real depth in charitable and nonprofit-adjacent planning, not just standard wills and trusts.
Track Record
Estate planning and probate administration rarely generate the kind of public verdict or settlement record civil litigation does, so there’s no case table to cite here. McNemar’s public professional record instead runs through nearly 35 years of continuous practice and an unusually deep record of nonprofit board leadership.
Note: Past results, where applicable, do not guarantee a similar outcome in any future matter.
Client Voice
Awesome Attorneys did not locate individually attributable, quotable client reviews for McNemar on major platforms as of the research date; his public profile is documented primarily through professional credentials and extensive nonprofit leadership rather than a large consumer-review footprint.
Community
McNemar chaired the Board of Directors of St. Mary’s Food Bank Alliance from 2013 to 2015, after joining the Food Bank’s efforts in 1994 and serving on its Board from 2004 to 2017; he remains active with its Foundation board, which oversees the Food Bank’s endowment. He is a Past President of the Planned Giving Roundtable of Arizona and continues on its board, serves on the Board of Directors of Chrysalis Shelter for Victims of Domestic Violence (chairing its Governance Committee), and sits on the Board of Directors of Lutheran Social Services of the Southwest.
Recognition
McNemar holds Arizona’s Board-Certified Estate & Trust Law Specialist designation — a genuine, examination-based credential from the State Bar’s Board of Legal Specialization.
The Arizona Legal Backdrop
What follows is general legal information, not legal advice.
Arizona wills are governed by A.R.S. § 14-2501 et seq., and intestate succession by A.R.S. § 14-2102. Most Arizona probate proceeds informally under A.R.S. § 14-3301. Trusts are governed by the Arizona Trust Code, A.R.S. § 14-10101 et seq. Guardianship and conservatorship proceedings — a specific area of McNemar’s practice — fall under Title 14, Chapter 5, which sets out the process for a court to appoint someone to manage the affairs of a person who can’t manage their own due to age or incapacity.
The Awesome Attorneys Assessment
McNemar’s genuine strength is an unusually deep charitable and nonprofit-planning specialization, reinforced by real, sustained nonprofit board leadership — not just membership — across multiple Arizona organizations over two decades. That combination is a real asset for clients whose estate plans involve charitable giving or nonprofit succession specifically.
The honest caveat: Awesome Attorneys could not independently verify firm size or confirm whether McNemar handles matters solo or with associate support — prospective clients with a large or document-intensive estate should ask directly about staffing and capacity.
