What Is Probate & How Does It Work?
When a person passes away, his or her estate must be settled – even when they left a will or living trust. Estate settlement involves gathering and accounting for the deceased person’s property and assets, paying debts and taxes, and distributing the remaining assets to heirs and beneficiaries according to the will, trust, or per Utah law.
In Utah, the process of probate to achieve an estate settlement is required when:
- The deceased person owned real property, such as a home, investment property, or land regardless of its value
- The deceased person had other assets valued at more than $100,000
In many cases, probate will not be necessary, as in the case of a living trust or where property was held in a joint tenancy. Eric M. Swinyard & Associates, PLLC can determine if your case requires probate and help you move forward with the legal process. We can also assist you in handling the distribution of a living trust.
