Careful estate planning can help ensure that your wishes are fulfilled and your property goes to the intended beneficiaries.

Our Salt Lake City estate planning lawyers will listen to your wishes, advise you of your options, and work to help you achieve your goals.
Our estate planning services include:
- Wills - legal documents stating how your money and property will be distributed after your death
- Trusts - a fiduciary arrangement that allows a third party, or trustee, to hold assets on behalf of a beneficiary or beneficiaries
- Advance directives - a written statement of a person's wishes regarding medical treatment to ensure they are carried out should the person be unable to communicate
- Powers of attorney - the authority given to someone to act for another involving legal or financial issues
- Modifications to estate plans - update your estate plan to keep it up-to-date with your wishes
Additionally, our law firm represents clients through the estate administration process. We can help with gathering and inventorying all assets of the estate, ensuring that all debts and taxes are paid, and distributing the assets to the intended heirs and beneficiaries. We can help settle all claims against the estate and file the necessary tax returns.
Navigating the Probate Process with Confidence
Probate can be lengthy legal process, especially for complex estates. There may be claims against the estate, challenges to the validity of the will, and other legal complications that arise during the probate process. Unfortunately, these disputes have been known to tear families apart. Our Salt Lake City probate attorneys are well-versed in Utah law and experienced in litigation to ensure that the rights and interests of our clients are protected throughout the probate process.
Please call (801) 901-7046 for help with estate planning, estate administration, or the probate process.

"I can say that Nelson, Taylor & Associates have been the most reasonable, empathetic, and responsive."
I have had legal needs spanning several years during a divorce and custody evaluation. Having worked with a few different firms in both Utah and Salt Lake County, I can say that Nelson, Taylor & Associates have been the most reasonable, empathetic, and responsive.
Any family law issue has the potential for high anxiety, emotional reactions, and long-term impact on one's financial and family situation. I have been guided by Wade Taylor through the worst of these and will always appreciate his time, patience, and skills on behalf of me and my family.

"I would highly recommend Elenia!"I worked with Elenia Cozean for my recent divorce. I found her from a list of providers that participated in my legal insurance. With Covid, we were able to have a phone consultation to discuss and I immediately felt comfortable and confident that she would handle things with compassion and professionalism. She was prompt and followed through with deadlines every step of the way. I would highly recommend Elenia!- Karli S.

"Mark stood by my side."I've been working with Mark K Nelson for the past 5 year's now. My divorce was anything but easy.

"He was a fighter for me and my children..."Nick Gottwald was absolutely the best choice to help me get through this difficult time. He is professional, concise, and was a fighter for me and my children, but he is experienced enough to help make the divorce process proceed very amicably with his tact and consideration for me.- J.

"Wade Taylor was completely honest from the very beginning."Wade Taylor was completely honest about what my rights were from the very beginning and explained the entire process step by step. The other attorney for the other half, dragged her feet with EVERYTHING and played games the entire time. Mr. Taylor fully supported me walking out of mediation after HOURS of being there and finding out the other attorney was completely unprepared. The other attorney tried to blame Mr. Taylor for her not being prepared, but Mr. Taylor was able to prove he sent her the information MONTHS before mediation. Mr. Taylor also had another extremely knowledgeable and experienced attorney, Elenia Cozean at mediation with us. It was so reassuring to know just how supported I was not only by Mr. Wade, but also by the other attorneys in his office. I have already recommended Mr. Wade to several people in search of a great attorney and I will continue to do so!- Jessie K.

"Nick is very personable and friendly."I came to Nick Gottwald with a complicated case with my ex. I was wrongfully represented before Nick and my order was ridiculous. Anyways, Nick agreed to take on the case, He got some of the situation better for me and was willing to keep fighting as long as it took. I am grateful for his help and dedication to my case. He is very personable and friendly. I highly recommend Nick Gottwald if you need an attorney. Thank you for everything Nick!- Melissa
