Hiring a Estate Planning Attorney in Utah

A basic revocable living trust in Utah costs roughly $3,580–$5,370 when drafted by an attorney, based on the typical 10-15 hours of attorney work at $358 per hourClio Legal Trends Report 2025Verified Jan 1, 2025. Online services offer trust packages for $300–$700, though they generally don't include attorney advice or review of your specific situation. See the Utah trust cost calculator for a detailed breakdown.

Even if you create a revocable trust in Utah, you generally still need a will — most commonly a "pour-over" will that captures any assets you forgot to retitle into the trust. Utah also allows transfer-on-death deeds for real estate, which can move property out of probate without a trust. Whether a trust adds enough value over a will-only plan depends on your situation: real property, blended families, and out-of-state assets are the most common reasons. The trust-or-will tool walks through the decision.

Estate planning attorneys in Utah average $389 per hourClio Legal Trends Report 2025Verified Jan 1, 2025 for wills and estates work. Flat-fee packages run roughly $1,167–$2,334 for a simple individual will and $3,580–$5,370 for a basic revocable trust. Online and DIY services cost $30–$300 for the same documents — see the will cost calculator for a side-by-side comparison.

Utah has a generous small-estate threshold of $100,000. Estates under that line can use the Small Estate Affidavit procedure, which is a form rather than a court case — most families can handle it without an attorney. For estates above the threshold, formal probate generally benefits from counsel because of the procedural overhead, even when nothing is contested. The Utah probate calculator estimates total costs based on estate value.

In Utah, the situations where retaining counsel is typically worth the cost are: blended families with children from prior relationships; ownership of a business, rental property, or significant investment assets; special-needs dependents who need a special-needs trust to preserve benefits; substantial property held in multiple states. If none of these describe your situation, the simpler online and DIY tools are often enough.

Utah runs a conventional probate system, so the decision to hire an attorney usually comes down to general factors: blended families, business ownership, special-needs dependents, or property in multiple states. If none of those apply, simpler tools are often enough.

Worth knowing: estates under $100,000§ 75-3-1201Verified May 27, 2026 can use Utah's simplified affidavit instead of formal probate. If your situation is straightforward and the estate fits, you may not need an attorney at all.
