- Q. What is the percentage a nonprofessional ( a family member) trustee can charge a family trust?
- A: In Utah, there is no set percentage for what a nonprofessional (family member) trustee can charge a family trust. Compensation is typically based on what is reasonable given the duties performed, the time involved, and the complexity of the trust administration. The trust document may specify the trustee’s compensation; if not, the fees must be reasonable and are often less than those charged by professional trustees.
If disputes arise over fees, they can be resolved in court based on the specifics of the case. Trustees and beneficiaries should agree on compensation terms early to avoid conflicts.

- Q. Is it legal to yell and belittle a resident/patient of a care facility? Can a employee of a care center search a friend

State regulations, specifically under the Utah Administrative Code R432-150-12, protect residents from mental and physical abuse. Such actions can be reported to the facility management, the Utah Department of Health, or through the Utah Long-Term Care Ombudsman Program, which advocates for residents' rights and welfare in care settings.
- Q. I recently purchased a car. I had 3 vehicles that I traded for 1. I didn’t know the exact mileage of 2 of the vehicles
- A: Hey there,
It's essential to understand that preventing someone from filing a lawsuit isn't something you can do preemptively. The crux of the matter will likely revolve around the contract you signed. It's worth asking if there was a specific trade-in agreement or similar document involved in your transaction.
Even without a written agreement on the trade-ins, an oral contract can still hold weight. Given that you were upfront about the mileage being an estimate and the dealership proceeded with the deal with that knowledge, you didn't misrepresent the facts. This transparency on your part is crucial.
While it's possible you might have to defend your position, ... Read More
