Local process: Salt Lake County
For someone who lived in Salt Lake City, the probate case generally belongs in Salt Lake County, in Utah's Third Judicial District. Once the court appoints a personal representative, the title company will usually want to see the letters of appointment before closing. If the estate is under supervised administration or the will limits the personal representative's powers, the court may need to approve the sale.

Comparing your choices
| Option | Best when | Trade-off |
|---|---|---|
| Informal probate + cash sale | Uncontested estates where the personal representative has authority to sell. | You still need letters from the court before closing. |
| Formal probate + court-approved sale | Disputes, unclear wills or supervised estates. | Hearings can add time; a cash buyer can wait. |
