What Is a Will?

A Last Will and Testament is a legal document that states how your property will be distributed after your death and who will be responsible for carrying out your wishes. In Utah, a valid will allows you to:
‍
- Name beneficiaries for your assets
- Appoint a personal representative (executor)
- Designate guardians for minor children
- Provide clear instructions that reduce family conflict

Without a will, Utah law determines how your estate is distributed—often in ways that don’t reflect your intentions.
