Utah estate planning, made simple.

Utah Wills & Trusts helps families create clear, practical estate plans without confusion, pressure, or unnecessary complexity.

Whether you need a will, trust, power of attorney, advance health care directive, or a review of existing documents, we help you understand your options and create a plan that fits your family.

Should You Have a Will or a Trust?

A will allows you to state who should receive your property, name the person who will handle your estate, and nominate guardians for minor children. However, a will generally goes through probate, which is a public court process.

A trust can provide greater privacy, help your loved ones avoid probate, and give clearer instructions for how your property should be managed if you become incapacitated or pass away. A trust can also be designed to hold and distribute property for loved ones according to your wishes.

Many estate plans include both: a trust as the primary planning document and a will as a backup. We can help you understand which approach makes sense for your home, accounts, family, and goals.

At Utah Wills & Trusts, we help with:

  • WILLS

    A foundational document to direct property, nominate guardians, and serve as a backup to a trust-based plan.

  • TRUSTS

    Private planning to help avoid probate, manage property, and direct how assets should pass to loved ones.

  • POWERS OF ATTORNEY

    Documents that allow someone you trust to handle financial, legal, and property matters if you are unable to act.

  • ADVANCE HEALTH CARE DIRECTIVE

    Documents that name a health care decision-maker and provide guidance about your medical wishes.

A Clear Process From Start To Finish

Estate planning does not have to feel overwhelming. We begin with a complimentary one-hour consultation, help you make important decisions, prepare your documents, review them with you, and guide you through the next steps after signing.

If your plan includes a trust, we also help you understand how to retitle property and update beneficiary designations so your plan works as intended.
