Overview
As founder of the Law Office of Penniann J. Schumann, Ms. Schumann knows the importance of having a will, regardless of the size of your estate. She helps people in Salt Lake City and Park City, Utah, create and implement a plan that specifies how their assets should be divided and their affairs handled.
If you have a substantial estate, you may be concerned about preserving your assets through the probate process. Ms. Schumann will look at your situation from all sides, taking into account your unique circumstances, the tax implications and other factors. She will then help you understand your options, which may include creating trusts, appointing a guardian for minor children or setting up a family limited liability company to pass your estate on to future generations.
There is more to the estate planning process, though, than just making plans for the end of your life. Our team also can help you prepare for an incapacitating injury or illness through the creation of powers of attorney or health care directives. We will go over different scenarios with you and discuss your wishes so that you are able to put provisions in place that direct a loved one to act on your behalf in the event you become unable to make decisions for yourself.
Going through probate can be a long and complicated process, which you may not be prepared for. If you have lost a loved one, the Law Office of Penniann J. Schumann can explain what your responsibilities are and what you can expect from the proceedings. We can also assist you in the distribution of assets and administration of the estate in accordance with the decedent’s wishes or the court’s orders.

How do I choose a lawyer?
Consider the following:
- Comfort Level
- - Are you comfortable telling the lawyer personal information? Does the lawyer seem interested in solving your problem?
- Credentials
- - How long has the lawyer been in practice? Has the lawyer worked on other cases similar to yours?
- Cost
- - How are the lawyer's fees structured - hourly or flat fee? Can the lawyer estimate the cost of your case?
- City
- - Is the lawyer's office conveniently located?
Not sure what questions to ask a lawyer?
Here are a few to get you started:
- How long have you been in practice?
- How many cases like mine have you handled?
- How often do you settle cases out of court?
- What are your fees and costs?
- What are the next steps?
Want to check lawyer discipline?
It is always a good idea to research your lawyer prior to hiring. Every state has a disciplinary organization that monitors attorneys, their licenses, and consumer complaints. By researching lawyer discipline you can:
- Ensure the attorney is currently licensed to practice in your state
- Gain an understanding of his or her historical disciplinary record, if any.
- Determine the seriousness of complaints/issues which could range from late bar fees to more serious issues requiring disciplinary action.
