Fillmore - Utah's first territorial capital and the Topaz War Relocation Center - from Fillmore's territorial capital heritage (Fillmore was designated as Utah Territory's first capital in 1851 by Brigham Young - the Territorial Statehouse completed there in 1855 is the oldest government building in Utah, and though the capital was moved to Salt Lake City in 1858, the statehouse remains a beautifully preserved artifact of Utah's earliest governmental history) to the Topaz War Relocation Center (the Japanese American internment camp established in the Sevier Desert near Delta in 1942 - where over 11,000 Japanese Americans were imprisoned during World War II - is one of the most significant and sobering WWII heritage sites in Utah, now partially preserved as a national historic landmark).

Where to go
Fourth District Court, Millard County 765 South Highway 99, Suite 6, Fillmore, UT 84631 (435) 743-5302
Millard County was created October 4, 1851, named for Millard Fillmore, in West Central Utah, seated in Fillmore (largest city Delta). Utah has NO separate probate court – probate is handled by the District Court.
Step 1: figure out which path applies
Utah has adopted the Uniform Probate Code (Title 75, Utah Uniform Probate Code) in full – one of about 16 states to do so. This makes Utah’s probate process comparatively streamlined.
Small Estate Affidavit (Utah Code § 75-3-1201) – available when the total estate value (minus liens and encumbrances) is $100,000 or less AND the estate includes NO real property. At least 30 days must have passed since death. This is a true affidavit process – it is NOT filed with the court. The successor fills it out, signs it before a notary, and presents it directly to whoever holds the property (a bank, brokerage, employer, etc.), which is then legally obligated to release the asset. A separate, similar affidavit can transfer title to up to four boats, motor vehicles, trailers, or semi-trailers directly through the Utah Division of Motor Vehicles.
Informal Probate – the most common track in Utah under the UPC. Minimal court involvement; a probate registrar (not a judge) reviews the application and appoints the personal representative administratively when there’s no dispute.
Unsupervised Formal Probate – involves a judge and a court hearing to resolve a specific question (such as confirming a will’s validity) but otherwise proceeds with the same independence as informal probate afterward.
Supervised Formal Administration – full ongoing court supervision, reserved for contested, complex, or high-conflict estates.
Step 2: filing for administration
The personal representative (or an interested party) files an Application for Informal Probate and Appointment of Personal Representative with the Fourth District Court.
The original will (if one exists) and a certified death certificate are submitted with the application.
The court registrar reviews the application; if in order, Letters Testamentary (with a will) or Letters of Administration (without one) are issued – often without a hearing.
The personal representative provides notice to creditors and known heirs, and inventories the estate’s assets.
The personal representative pays valid debts, expenses, and taxes from the estate.
Remaining assets are distributed to beneficiaries or heirs, and the estate is closed.
What it costs
District court filing fee: $375 statewide (confirm current fee for Millard County directly, as fees can be adjusted).
Utah has NO statutory fee schedule for attorneys or personal representatives – fees must be “reasonable” based on time spent, complexity of the estate, and its value.
Small estate affidavit proceedings cost far less since no court filing is required at all – mainly notary and any professional assistance fees.
Utah does NOT impose a state estate tax or inheritance tax. Only the federal estate tax may apply, and only to very large estates.
