Probate Is Handled In Court
Probate cases normally occur in state and county court where the deceased permanently lived at the time of his or her death. In different states such courts may go by different names. Some are simply called the Probate Court. In New Yorkthey are called the Surrogates Court and in California they are called the Superior Court, Probate Division. The probate court will normally handle all the personal property the deceased owned, plus all the real estate the deceased owned located in that same state.

Not having a will can be dangerous in <state> that's because Utah laws will be used to determine who gets your property by default. Usually, your property will be distributed based on how the state thinks most people will want it done. That means property usually goes to your spouse or children and then to other family members.

That can be a hassle if you have other plans in mind. Utah probate lawyers can help you transfer your wishes onto a will that clearly spells out your wishes to your executor. An executor is a person who is responsible for proving the will is valid, finding the dead person’s property, appraising the property, paying debts and taxes, and distributing left over property according to the person’s probate will.

Setting up a living trust may be one way to avoid the probate process. But it must still follow certain Utah laws. Be sure to contact a probate lawyer in Utah who can inform you of your rights.
