Comprehensive Estate Planning & Administration Services
Careful estate planning can help ensure that your wishes are fulfilled and your property goes to the intended beneficiaries. In addition, steps can be taken to minimize expense and tax liability to the estate and your heirs. 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 a 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 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 currently enjoy being the custodial parent and seeing my boy's most of the time, which is not a easy thing for a dad to pull off in Utah... Thanks Wade."After fighting a custody case on and off for 3 year's Wade Taylor was not my first attorney, he was my third. I had the chance to watch lots of attorney's in action but truly felt Wade was the best money could buy. But that's the astounding part, after receiving his last bill I did the math and determined he had actually cost me less then any other attorney!?!? I currently enjoy being the custodial parent and seeing my boy's most of the time, which is not a easy thing for a dad to pull off in Utah... Thanks Wade.- Jared P.
