Asset Protection In Estate Planning
Unlike one-size-fits-all kits, we craft plans that consider creditor exposure, professional liability, and multi-generational needs. For some clients, spendthrift provisions or lifetime trusts help protect inheritances; others may benefit from
Utah-specific structures coordinated with overall planning.
Tax-Efficient Strategies
Thoughtful design can reduce friction and taxes over time. From funding trusts to coordinating charitable gifts, we align choices with current rules and your CPA’s advice—future-proofing where we can.
Probate & Estate Administration
Good planning can minimize or avoid probate, but if a loved one has passed, we guide families through Utah probate with steady communication and clear next steps—working closely with local courts and title companies.
FAQs: Estate Planning
What Families Want to Know About Wills and Trusts
What happens if I die without a will in Utah?
State intestacy rules decide who inherits, which may not match your wishes and can create delays. A plan keeps decisions in your hands.
How often should I update my plan?
After major life changes—marriage, divorce, birth, relocation, or significant asset shifts—or at least every few years.
Is a trust better than a will?
They do different jobs. Many comprehensive plans use both: a living trust to avoid probate and manage assets, plus a pour-over will for anything outside the trust.
