Estate Planning Attorney in Salt Lake City, UT

Flat-fee estate plans for Salt Lake City families. Wills, trusts, powers of attorney — explained in plain English.

Salt Lake City is the largest metro area in Utah and home to a diverse population of families, young professionals, and business owners. As the state capital, SLC residents have unique planning considerations including proximity to state courts and a competitive real estate market that makes asset protection through trusts especially relevant.

Many Salt Lake City families are dual-income households with children, retirement accounts, and a family home that represents their largest asset. Without an estate plan, Utah intestacy laws determine who inherits, and a court decides who raises your children. For SLC families, getting these documents in place is one of the most important financial decisions you can make.

Utah Estate Planning Law

Utah is not a community property state. Instead, it follows equitable distribution principles, which means assets acquired during marriage are divided fairly but not necessarily equally. Utah has adopted a version of the Uniform Trust Code and allows perpetual trusts. The state recently updated its Advance Health Care Directive Act, so older healthcare directive forms may not comply with current law.
