What is probate?
Probate is the court-supervised process of validating a will, paying outstanding debts, and distributing assets to the rightful heirs. With the right attorney, it doesn't have to be overwhelming - it protects you from liability, missed deadlines, and family disputes.

FAQ
How long does probate take in Utah?
Most Utah probates take 6–12 months depending on the estate's size, creditor claims, and court scheduling. Small estates that qualify for a small estate affidavit can be settled much faster. We'll give you a realistic timeline in your free consultation.
Do I need an attorney if there is a will?
Not always. Utah doesn't require an attorney for probate, but the process involves court filings, deadlines, and notices that are easy to get wrong. Having one protects you from personal liability as the personal representative.
How much does probate cost?
The cost of probate depends on the estate's complexity. We offer flat-fee pricing so there are never any surprises. We'll give you a specific quote during your free consultation.
What happens if someone dies without a will in Utah?
If someone dies without a will in Utah, the court distributes assets according to state intestacy law, which may not match their wishes. An attorney helps the family navigate that process.
