What We Do: Estate Planning Cases We Handle

Drawing upon our 15 years of experience, we can offer you a wide range of estate planning services. We have helped several clients meet their tax planning, estate planning, last will, and charitable needs. Here's what our skilled estate planning lawyers can help you with.

1. Will

Usually, your last will is part of your estate plan. It's always better to have a will and never too early to create your will. Like other states, Utah also has Intestate laws. If you or your loved one dies without a will, the Intestate laws will determine who inherits your assets.
Your estate planning attorney, Jeremy Atwood, can help you draft a will to meet your needs.

Here are a few benefits of drafting your will.

Control what happens to your assets after your death

Appoint someone you trust (an executioner) to manage and handle your estate distribution

Appoint a guardian for minors

Specify your funeral wishes in your will and reduce the stress on your loved ones

Above all, it helps you expedite the legal process

2. Power of Attorney

A power of attorney grants one person (the attorney-in-fact) the legal right to act on your behalf. Power of attorney is a critical element in detailed estate planning. It allows one person to act on your or your loved one's behalf in the event of mental or physical incapacity.

At Jeremy Atwood Law, we can help you create a power of attorney tailored to your needs. Depending on your needs, it can be broad or specific. Your power of attorney can allow a person to:
  • Pay your bills
  • Manage your finances
  • Sign legal documents
  • Make business decisions
  • Buy or sell assets
  • Hire and fire professional help

3. Trust

Trusts can help you accomplish specific estate planning goals. As a seasoned estate planning attorney in Utah, we can help you set up a trust that best serves your needs.

A typical trust consists of a trust-maker, the trustee (trust manager), and the beneficiary. You can create a trust where all three parties are one individual or three different individuals.
Our experienced estate planning lawyers can help you set up a trust based on your needs. Usually, trust benefits include:
  • Protect and preserve your assets.
  • Customize and control your wealth distribution.
  • Address changing family dynamics such as divorce.
  • Help a family member manage their affairs.
  • Save state and federal taxes.

4. Advance Directives

Advanced directives help you manage your medical treatment and end-of-life care. When you lose your ability to communicate or make your own decisions, an advance directive can help clear the confusion. It provides specific instructions about your healthcare and end-of-life care.

In Utah, anyone above 18 can create an advance directive. This document is legally binding in Utah. And our skilled estate planning lawyers can help you draft an advance directive tailored to your needs. It can:
  • Give peace of mind to your loved ones.
  • Minimize stress.
  • Reduce potential family feuds.
