Update Will For Trustee

Summary

If a trustee is unable to serve, updating a will is necessary. In Utah, the process involves ensuring the testator is mentally competent and can communicate their wishes. The will should clearly state the new trustee and any changes to asset distribution. Consulting an estate planning attorney can help navigate the legal requirements and ensure the updated will is valid.
