Do I need a will in Utah
if I am married but have no children?

If you are married without any children and die without a will, Utah
intestate succession laws dictate that your entire estate will pass to
your spouse. For some couples, this may be an adequate outcome. But
even if this is what you want done with your property and assets, often
creating even a basic
estate plan under Utah law can help avoid the
troubles and costs associated with filing a
probate
action in Utah. Based in Salt Lake City, Stephen Howard offers estate
planning and probate services to clients throughout Utah.

today to schedule an initial consultation.
Depending
on the age of your spouse and his/her ability to provide for
himself/herself, you may also want to consider whether there are other
family members or charitable organizations that you would like to
receive a portion of your estate. For individuals with large estates,
you may also want to consider using more complex estate planning tools
to avoid unnecessary estate taxes.
