Christina Noz’s practice focuses on estate planning and trust and estate administration. She strives to draft estate plans that clearly reflect clients’ wishes and the legacies they want to leave. Her unconventional route to law practice gives her a unique perspective on estate planning and she understands there is no “one size fits all” estate plan. 
 

For over twenty years, Christina has been building her knowledge of trusts and estates. She began her career working with donors to plan their philanthropic legacies at the Lucile Packard Foundation in the San Francisco Bay Area. Following law school, Christina became a trust officer for state-chartered trust company, where she worked for a decade as a corporate fiduciary administering trusts and estates. There, she excelled as part of the team of professionals who help clients and trust beneficiaries navigate their financial, legal, and tax lives. Christina wore many hats while at the trust company, including leading the trust department for eight years, serving as a member of the Executive Team, and overseeing risk management and contract review. In 2020, Christina transitioned into the practice of law. 
 

Christina is a member of the Arizona and California State Bars. She is on the boards of Arizona Public Media, Pima Council on Aging, and the Southern Arizona Estate Planning Council.
