Trust
A Trust creates an entity to hold your property and real estate. It can help reduce and avoid death taxes and protect your asset from creditors. Furthermore, a trust can provide for your own support during your life and as well as distribute of the property it holds to family members or others after your death. Another important factor in this is an asset protection trust that allows your asset to be protected from creditors.
There are five types of trusts for estate planning: living trust, testamentary trust, revocable living trust, charitable trust, and irrevocable trust. Trust administration is similar to probate but can occur without court supervision.

Utah law does not levy inheritance tax. A surviving spouse is not subject to paying estate taxes passed through the property from the family member in question.
A good estate plan will accomplish several things: it will ensure that your property goes to the people you want it to go to; it will minimize the taxes and other expenses your family will have to pay after your death; and it will make sure that your family is taken care of according to your wishes.
Inventory
Something that is often overlooked is the inventory of overall assets, documents, property, and estate. Estate planning is not just the designation of all of your things, but it allows your heirs to pay less in taxes, fees, and court costs overall. Acquiring legal advice from an estate planning lawyer or estate planning attorney regarding what should be given to a family member teaches the client more about what goes into estate planning as a whole. Not only does inventory help the client to better organize their lives, but it helps the family and professionals aiding them in the process.
No one knows when their time will come, so it is important to have an estate plan in place. If you die without a plan, your family will have to deal with the stress. In order to best protect your assets and your family, it is important to have a comprehensive estate plan in place.
