Last Will and Testament Template - Utah
A Utah Last Will and Testament is a form that allows an individual - also known as a Testator - to identify who should receive their property, elect guardians for their minor children, and put an agent in charge of carrying out their wishes. There are two other parties named in a will: an Executor (the agent appointed by a Testator to carry out the terms of the will), and a Beneficiary (a person deriving advantage from the will).
Writing a Last Will also minimize tensions among surviving family members - battling over possessions can weaken what may have been a strong family.
The Utah's Section 75-1-201(58) of the Title 75 (Uniform Probate Code) commands the document to be signed by the Testator in presence of two (2) witnesses.
