OPINION
NORRIS, Acting P.J.
¶ 1 Arizona has enacted legislation validating and enforcing provisions in “written cop-tracts” requiring arbitration of future controversies. See Arizona Revised Statutes (“A.R.S.”) section 12-1501 (2003). 1 The issue presented in this appeal is whether an arbitration provision in an instrument establishing an irrevocable inter vivos trust may be enforced against trust beneficiaries who sued the trustors and trustees. We hold the trust beneficiaries are not required to arbitrate their claims because such a trust is not a “written contract” requiring arbitration.
