Drafting a Will in Utah<\/strong><\/h2>\n

You write a will while you\u2019re still alive, and the instructions set in it will be administered once you pass away. The person who has made the will is called the testator.<\/p>\n

In the will, you\u2019ll assign a person known as the \u201cexecutor.\u201d The executor will be the person to carry out your estate. Usually, there\u2019s a probate process wherein the court determines the validity of the will and ensures that it\u2019s executed according to your wishes.<\/p>\n

A will is the foundation of an estate plan<\/span><\/a>. It states what your wishes are for your estate and what you want to happen to them. An estate plan can be more than just a will, of course, but it\u2019s the primary thing that probate court checks when determining your estate<\/b>. Note that assets that which are not designated by a beneficiary, like retirement plans or life insurance policies, won\u2019t be included as probate assets.<\/p>\n

A will can be as straightforward or as intricate as your estate needs it to be. If you\u2019re concerned about the welfare of your loved ones after you pass away, talk to our experienced St George wills attorneys today. We\u2019ll help you prepare what you need to take care of your loved ones if an unfortunate event occurs.<\/p>\n
