Utah Probate Attorneys

​

If your loved one passed without a trust and leaves property behind that needs to be dealt with, you will probably need to go through the legal process known as "probate." A probate is a legal action in which a court oversees the administration of a deceased person’s estate (including their property and assets). The Utah probate lawyers with Campbell, Williams, Ference, Nelson & Hall have done many probates and can assist you with yours, regardless of whether the probate is contested or not.

​

We can guide you through the process of filing the necessary documents to initiate the probate process with the court, having a personal representative appointed, obtaining court-executed documents (which allow the personal representative to work on the estate), and gather the estate’s assets, satisfy the estate’s debts, and distribute funds and property to the deceased's heirs, etc.

​

The probate process is a court proceeding and can be complicated. When you’re dealing with the grief of losing a loved one and potential conflict with other heirs (including, frequently, other loved ones), the probate process can also be emotional, daunting, and overwhelming. Our Utah probate lawyers can guide you through the probate process, and answer your questions, in a way that minimizes your stress.

​

There are also frequently tax implications involved with probate actions (including the need to file tax returns). We can also refer you to a competent accountant to assist you with all of the tax-related aspects of your loved one's estate (whether it is in probate or not) if necessary.
