A Utah attorney could advise best, but your question remains open for a week. In general nationwide, judges can be moved to different cases/courts within a unified court system, and cases can be re-assigned to different judges, depending on the needs/backlog of the court system. Good luck

However, the fact that you initially... View More

The cashier's check your mother wrote to herself is considered part of her estate since she is both the payee and the payor. Under Utah law, when a decedent owns more than $100,000 in assets, the estate must go through probate in order to gain access to and distribute the funds. This means a... View More
