How We Can Help with Estate Administration
In some cases, estate administrations are required to go through a Utah probate court. This is a court process required by Utah law in certain cases. During the probate process, the estate’s outstanding debts (if any) are paid after which assets may be distributed to the beneficiaries.
In general, people hope to avoid the process because the estate assets are frozen during the process, which can often be lengthy and costly. We work closely with you during this time to make the process as quick and easy as possible. Our attorneys can assist with:
- management and/or guidance over all of the trustee or personal representative’s legal responsibilities;
- document preparation and formal filings with probate court;
- compliance with life insurance policies;collecting documentation and information relating assets/titles and outstanding bills, debts, and medical liabilities;
- quick and responsive help with urgent matters such as child custody, small business management concerns, and securing the home/personal property;
- cancelling/deferring upcoming mortgage payments;
- transparent accounting for debt payments, sale of asset(s), disbursements, and any other concern relating to the estate’s finances with continuing updates for beneficiaries;
- securing the decedent’s mail and deliveries and updating forwarding addresses;
- assistance with pension matters and Social Security; and
- ongoing trust administration.
There are quite a few minute details that must be strictly followed according to Utah law during the administration of an estate. Often, there are time-sensitive deadlines that must be met. It is a lot to manage, especially during a time of loss.
Canyons Law Group can help manage many of these mundane burdens for you, helping you to quickly jump through all legal hoops and allowing you more bandwidth to navigate difficult emotional times. We are here to provide you with the best legal services from start to finish.
