Estate Planning Questions
Absolutely. We recommend reviewing your estate plan every few years, or after major life changes (like marriage, divorce, birth, or relocation). Watts Law makes it easy to revise your documents when needed.
The Utah intestacy laws will determine how your assets are distributed—often in ways that may not reflect your wishes. Having a will ensures your voice is heard.
Yes. An estate plan isn’t just about money—it includes healthcare directives, powers of attorney, and instructions that protect your family and your wishes if something unexpected happens.
Probate is the court process for settling an estate after someone dies. It can be time-consuming and public. You may be able to avoid probate by using tools like revocable trusts, joint ownership, and proper beneficiary designations.
A will distributes your assets through the Utah probate court, while a trust allows your estate to bypass probate. Trusts can also offer more control, privacy, and planning flexibility. We'll help you decide which is right for you.
