Probate is the process of distributing a deceased person's assets to heirs.

In Utah, there are two types: formal and informal. The main difference is court involvement. Informal probate cases need no court hearing if parties agree on distribution, while formal cases do require a hearing for appointing a personal representative.

Effective legal representation is crucial for success in either case. We can guide you through Utah’s probate procedures and represent you in estate disputes. Dealing with grief is hard enough without added legal stress. Let us handle your probate case.

Divorce legal services provide essential support for individuals navigating the complexities of ending a marriage.

Experienced attorneys advocate for equitable asset division, child custody arrangements, and spousal support, helping clients achieve favorable outcomes during this challenging time. With personalized attention and a focus on resolution, divorce legal services aim to ease the emotional and financial strain of separation.

It's never too early to plan for the distribution of your property. Creating an Estate Plan for your assets ensures your children’s futures, reduces legal and tax issues for your heirs, and guarantees your wishes are honored even if you can’t enforce them.

We can use various tools to care for you and your loved ones during your life and after. Trusts and wills are essential tools; a will takes effect upon death, while a trust begins when created, allowing you to control property division after you're gone.

There are five trust types: (i) Living; (ii) Testamentary; (iii) Revocable; (iv) Irrevocable; and (v) Funded or Unfunded, with multiple trust fund options available.

Whether you need a simple will or a complex trust, we can create a plan that suits your needs.

Every life faces loss or disability. A well-crafted plan smooths transitions during times of grief and illness.

A family can provide a support system where members receive and give protection and care. However, it may be unclear how to best care for a loved one with atypical needs. In such cases, appointing a legal guardian might be the best choice.

A guardianship is a relationship between a guardian and a protected person. First, identify if your family member qualifies as a protected person, which includes minor children without guardians, minors with disabilities transitioning to adulthood, and adults with diminished capacity. Next, select a guardian who will have the legal authority and duty to care for the protected person and their property. Finally, outline the specific areas the guardian will oversee for the protected person.

As attorneys, we help determine if your loved one needs a guardian, select an appropriate guardian, and clarify the details of the care involved in the guardianship. Regardless of the guardianship type and level of authority, we will manage your case from start to finish.
