Q: Process and forms for Utah Probate.
My father passed away over 60 days ago, he left no will, was paying on land, all of his belongings are less than $100,000. We just need help with the process and which forms we need.
A:
I am sorry to hear of your loss. You are correct, if he died owning real estate (name on title) you will most likely have to go through probate.
I take it that the land is in Utah and your father was domiciled here when he passed?
I would be happy to help. Please reach out direclty if you would like to further discuss.

A:
A small estate affidavit would normally help if your father owned no land and his total property is valued less than $100,000. If there is land in Utah, but no will, an informal probate will be necessary.
Here is the state website for forms:
