Guardianship (Incapacitated Adult or Child)

​

The guardianship of a child establishes a person to care for a minor child if that child's parents are unable to do so themselves. This may be established as part of a comprehensive estate planning strategy. Guardianship may also be used to protect vulnerable adults who are unable to care for themselves by assigning a legal guardian. 

​

Paternity 

 

When a child is born to married parents the legal presumption is that the husband is the father of that child. However, when a child is born to non-married parents, there is no presumed paternity. Paternity may need to be established in situations such as divorce, child custody, and support negotiations.

Prenuptial Agreement

​

A "prenup" isn't just for the wealthy and celebrities. The prenuptial agreement allows you and your spouse to determine how you would like property divided in the event of divorce. Common reasons for a prenuptial agreement is to keep assets separate that were separate before the marriage took place, or to protect the inheritance of children from a prior marriage.  Prenuptial agreements are really quite affordable.  To read the Utah Uniform Premarital Agreement Act click here.
