Salt Lake City estate planning attorney

The complete estate-plan package — written for Salt Lake County, not a generic packet. See pricing for the full list.

Salt Lake City is the largest metro in Utah and home to families, young professionals, and owners who’ve built something they want to pass on cleanly. The house is often the biggest asset. Without a plan, Utah intestacy statutes decide who inherits, and a court decides who raises the kids.

Utah is not a community property state. If you moved here from Arizona, Texas, or California, the documents you brought with you may not do what you think they do. That’s ordinary review work here — not a special project.

Probate for Salt Lake City residents is handled at the Third District Court downtown. A properly funded revocable living trust keeps the transfer private and out of that courthouse. I’d be honored to help you get there.

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.

This page is general information about Salt Lake City, not legal advice for your situation.

Local context

What Salt Lake County law means on the ground

Utah is not community property

Assets acquired during marriage are divided fairly, not automatically equally. Titling and trust funding matter more here than people expect. Arizona and Texas are different — if you own property there too, the plan has to account for it.

Where probate happens

Third District Court, 450 South State Street, Salt Lake City. Informal probate usually takes 6–12 months. A funded trust skips that process.

How we work from here

Consultation and review by video. Signing at the North Salt Lake office. Individual plans from $2,500. Joint plans from $3,500 — the same complete package as on the pricing page. Recording for one property is included.
