Meet Sarah Randolph
Attorney Sarah Randolph helps individuals and families navigate estate planning, probate, and trust administration with clarity, efficiency, and personal attention. As an attorney with Blake & Pulsifer in Tempe, Arizona, she works closely with clients to create practical estate plans, administer estates, and manage the legal and financial responsibilities that arise after a death or incapacity.
Randolph assists clients with wills, revocable living trusts, powers of attorney, healthcare directives, beneficiary designations, and trust funding. She approaches estate planning as more than document preparation, taking time to understand each client’s family circumstances, assets, and long-term goals. Her objective is to create plans that clearly express the client’s wishes and function effectively when they are needed.
Her probate practice focuses on guiding personal representatives through the court-supervised process of settling an estate. This may include locating and valuing assets, addressing creditor claims, preparing required filings, managing estate property, and distributing assets to beneficiaries. Randolph helps clients understand their fiduciary duties while working to reduce delays, administrative burdens, and avoidable disputes.
She also advises trustees during trust administration, helping them identify and safeguard assets, communicate with beneficiaries, maintain records, manage accounts, and carry out the terms of the trust. Her organized approach is especially valuable for clients handling complicated financial accounts, trust funding issues, and asset-gathering responsibilities.
Before becoming an attorney, Randolph spent seven years in the banking industry, where she worked in retail banking, claims, operations, and procedure development. She also earned a Master of Business Administration. This financial and operational background gives her practical insight into account transfers, institutional requirements, asset documentation, and the administrative challenges families often encounter during probate and trust administration.
Randolph earned her law degree from the Sandra Day O’Connor College of Law at Arizona State University, where she was named a Willard H. Pederick Scholar and received the CALI Award for Excellence in Professional Responsibility. She serves on the board of the Estate Planning, Probate & Trust Section of the Maricopa County Bar Association and has been selected to the Super Lawyers Rising Stars list.
By combining legal knowledge, financial experience, and compassionate client service, Sarah Randolph helps Arizona families protect their assets, prepare for the future, and navigate estate and trust matters with greater confidence.
