If you die intestate in Utah, your children will receive an “intestate share” of your property. How much each child inherits depends on how many children you have, whether or not you are married and whether your spouse is also your children's parent.
If you'd like to file as the executor of an estate with no will, we've outlined 6 steps for you to follow: Find out your place in line. Obtain waivers from other family members. Contact the court. File your administration petition. Go to the probate hearing. Get a probate bond.
The case must be filed within three years of the date of the decedent's death. If it has been more than three years since the decedent's death, parties will need to follow a different process for a determination of heirs, and should contact a probate attorney for help. Utah Code 75-3-107.
If you weren't named executor in a will, you'd need to file a Letter of Administration with your state's probate court. The court will ask questions about you and your relationship with the deceased. The court will either appoint you as executor or appoint someone else.
Probate is required if: the estate includes real property (land, house, inium, mineral rights) of any value, and/or. the estate has assets (other than land, and not including cars) whose net worth is more than $100,000.
In Utah, you can make a living trust to avoid probate for virtually any asset you own—real estate, bank accounts, vehicles, and so on. You need to create a trust document (similar to a will), naming someone to take over as trustee after your death (called a "successor trustee").
You cannot avoid probate with only a will because wills cannot transfer property. This means if you have assets you want to pass to loved ones, it isn't covered in the will and a probate matter still has to be opened.
