One Conversation Can Protect Your Family for Decades

Most people know they need an estate plan. What stops them isn't unwillingness — it's uncertainty about where to start, what it costs, and whether the process will be complicated.


At Peterson Estate Planning, the process is designed to feel like the opposite of that. You speak directly with an attorney who will listen to your situation, explain your options in plain language, and help you build a plan that actually reflects your life — not a form-filled template.

Your Plan Should Grow With Your Life — Not Cost More Every Time It Does

One of the most common frustrations people bring to Peterson Estate Planning is a bill they weren't expecting — a question that turned into an hourly charge, a life change that required a plan update and a new invoice.


That's not how this works. After your initial plan is complete, annual reviews, follow-up questions, and updates are included. Your attorney remains accessible. The relationship doesn't end at signing.

Common Questions About Working With a Utah Estate Planning Attorney

  • Do I need an estate plan if I don't have a lot of assets?

    Yes. Estate planning isn't about wealth — it's about decisions. Who raises your children if something happens to you? Who makes medical decisions if you're incapacitated? A basic plan puts those answers in writing, regardless of your net worth.

  • Can I work with Peterson Estate Planning if I don't live in Utah?

    Yes. Peterson Estate Planning is licensed in California, Kansas, Utah, and Washington, with full remote service capability. You never have to come into an office if that doesn't work for you.

  • How is Peterson Estate Planning different from an online platform like LegalZoom?

    With an online platform, you fill out a form and get a document. With Peterson Estate Planning, you work directly with a licensed attorney who reviews your situation, explains your options, and makes sure your plan actually reflects your intent — not just your answers to a questionnaire.

  • What does the complimentary 20-minute call include?

    It's a real conversation with your attorney — no intake forms, no commitment, no sales pressure. You can ask questions, describe your situation, and get a clear sense of what a plan would look like for you before deciding anything.

  • Is the pricing hourly?

    No. Peterson Estate Planning offers transparent, tiered package pricing so you know the cost upfront. There are no hourly billing surprises.

The hardest part is deciding to start. Everything after that is a conversation.
