When should I start estate planning?

It’s never too early. A well-prepared plan ensures your assets and loved ones are protected no matter what happens.

Do I need a will or a trust?

It depends on your goals. A will ensures your assets are distributed according to your wishes, while a trust helps avoid probate and provides more control.

How can I avoid probate in Utah?

Using trusts, beneficiary designations, and gifting strategies can help keep your estate out of probate.

What happens if I don’t have an estate plan?

Without a plan, Utah courts will decide how your assets are distributed, which may not align with your wishes.

Can I update my estate plan?

Yes! You should review and update your plan after major life events like marriage, divorce, having children, or acquiring new assets.

Why Estate Planning Matters

Estate planning isn’t just for the wealthy—it’s for anyone who wants to control how their assets are handled and reduce burdens on their loved ones. Without a plan, the courts decide what happens to your estate, which can lead to delays, unnecessary taxes, and family disputes.

With a proper estate plan, you can:

Decide Who Inherits Your Assets – Ensure your property, savings, and valuables go exactly where you want.
Avoid Probate Hassles – Reduce court involvement and speed up asset distribution.
Protect Your Family’s Future – Provide financial security for your spouse, children, or other beneficiaries.
Plan for Unexpected Situations – Appoint trusted individuals to make medical and financial decisions if you can’t.
