Utah estate planning lawyer — based in North Salt Lake, written for how this state actually works.

Utah is not a community property state. It follows equitable distribution, which means assets acquired during marriage are divided fairly — not automatically equally. Titling and trust funding matter more here than people expect.

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 forms may not comply with current law.

If you also own property in Arizona or Texas — both community property states — the plan has to account for those differences. Jon is licensed in all three.

Every individual and joint plan is the same complete package — the documents, the funding work, the binder, and the follow-up emails. Joint plans cover both spouses. See what’s in every plan.
