Thus, the account at issue is specifically outside of the scope of the estate. See UTAH CODE ยง 75-6-106; see also In re Estate of Uzelac, 178 P.3d 347, 353 (Utah Ct. App. 2008) ("POD accounts are held outside of probate and transfer upon death to the payee."). And a dispute over Wright's interest in assets that are not a part of the probate estate is not within the scope of the probate exception, even though the district court's decision relating to ownership of the assets may be binding on a state probate court.
May 21, 2008. Appeal from the 178 P.3d 347. Petitions for Certiorari Denied.
