While a Will governs the distribution of assets, it does not exempt assets administered under its authority from the probate process. However, a Utah Living Trust will fully govern and administer any assets held under its name, exempting Trust assets from probate.

A will may be a relatively simple document that sets forth your wishes regarding the distribution of property; it may also include instructions regarding the care of minor children. An estate plan goes much further than a will.
