Giving away Property upon Death (Probate)
If you do not have a will prepared by a lawyer, you can handwrite your own. A will in your own handwriting is valid in Utah on two conditions: (1) the material portions are in your handwriting and (2) you sign it. It is also helpful (but not required) to date the will.
