Legal Answers
Q. Can I quit my job anytime ?
A: In Utah, employment is generally considered "at-will," which means that an employee can quit their job at any time without providing a reason or notice, and similarly, an employer can terminate employment at any time, barring any illegal reasons such as discrimination. This principle applies to employees rather than independent contractors. If your position with Thuisbezorgd classifies you as an employee rather than an independent contractor, you have the right to resign whenever you choose.

However, it's important to review the specific terms of your employment contract. Sometimes, contracts include clauses such as notice periods or requirements to return company property before you resign. While these clauses cannot legally force you to continue working against your will, they might influence aspects such as the terms under which your final paycheck is issued or eligibility for any remaining benefits.

Since you've mentioned a probationary month where resignation can occur without obligations, and considering you plan to resign by December 10th, carefully reviewing whether continuing beyond the probationary period imposes additional requirements or penalties is advised. Make sure you’re clear on these terms to mitigate any potential disputes regarding your final pay or benefits. If any uncertainties remain after reviewing the contract, consulting with an employment lawyer could help clarify your rights and obligations under Utah law.

Q. if i inherited my mothers house and the ooan is still in her name 8 years after her death is there a way to discharge th
A: It sounds like you're dealing with the process of managing ownership and financial responsibilities for a property following the passing of your mother. Here's a summary of the key points and steps you might consider:

1. **Determine Property Ownership:**

- Check if the house is solely in your mother's name or if you are a joint owner. The information is often found in the title deed.

2. **Probate Process:**

- If the property is solely in your mother's name, you may need to go through probate to transfer ownership to yourself or any other heirs. Probate is a legal process that validates a deceased person's will and oversees the distribution of assets.

3. **Loan Responsibilities:**

- The existing loan tied to the property must be addressed. Continuing payments can prevent foreclosure but doesn’t solve ownership or loan terms.

4. **Ownership Transfer and Loan Refinancing:**

- To fully take over the property and the associated loan, you might need to refinance the property. This means applying for a new loan in your name to pay off the old one.

- Alternatively, if you have the means, you can pay off the existing mortgage without refinancing.

5. **Communication with Lender:**

- Contact the mortgage company to inform them of the situation and explore options. You may continue making payments in the meantime to keep the loan in good standing and prevent foreclosure.

6. **Legal and Financial Advice:**

- Consider consulting with an attorney or financial advisor to help navigate both the probate process and any refinancing.

Taking care of these steps promptly is crucial to ensure a smooth transition of ownership and avoid potential legal or financial complications.

Q. How do I find out if I was named in a trust? How do I find out if my kids were on a trust?
A: I concur with Mr. Prigmore. Additionally, I would mention that while it is possible, it's quite rare for individuals to file copies of their will or trust with the Court after signing them. Most people value their privacy and choose to keep these documents with their personal belongings, instead of filing them with the Court, to prevent situations like this.

I hope this information is useful to you.

Sincerely,

Wes
