McCullough Law - Provo, UT
McCullough Law is an elite estate planning, asset protection, and tax planning firm in Provo, Utah, founded in 2006 by BYU Law adjunct professor Lee S. McCullough III to provide high-net-worth founders, multi-generational families, and business owners with sophisticated wealth preservation strategies across Utah and nationwide.
Four Generations of Mastery in Legacy and Asset Protection
Preserving significant wealth against future litigation, market volatility, and tax erosion requires sophisticated legal craftsmanship that goes far beyond standard documents. Headquartered on North Edgewood Drive in Provo, McCullough Law provides holistic legacy planning for high-net-worth individuals, entrepreneurs, and multi-generational families across Utah and the United States. Built upon four generations of legal heritage, the firm was founded in 2006 by Lee S. McCullough III, who graduated magna cum laude from the J. Reuben Clark Law School at Brigham Young University and holds a Master of Accountancy. As a Fellow in the prestigious American College of Trust and Estate Counsel and former president of the Utah Valley Estate Planning Council, Lee McCullough has taught advanced estate planning at BYU Law for more than two decades. When prominent founders and families need an attorney who can turn complex legal codes into elegant, lasting solutions, McCullough Law provides unmatched expertise.
Advanced Asset Protection and the Proprietary 541 Trust
In an increasingly litigious environment, proactive asset protection shields life savings and commercial holdings before unexpected claims emerge. McCullough Law specializes in tested structures that have successfully withstood intense courtroom scrutiny, federal bankruptcies, and IRS examinations. Core asset protection strategies include:
- The 541 Trust: Establishing the firm's signature irrevocable trust grounded in Section 541 of the U.S. Bankruptcy Code, providing ironclad creditor protection across all fifty states without the excessive costs or reporting hurdles of offshore entities.
- Domestic Asset Protection Trusts: Crafting Utah-statute-authorized self-settled asset protection trusts that permit creators to safeguard significant wealth while retaining discretionary beneficial interests.
- Entity Layering and Corporate Structuring: Structuring holding companies, family limited partnerships, and multi-tiered operating entities to insulate high-risk commercial operations from core family assets.
Comprehensive Estate Planning, Wills, and Living Trusts
A meaningful legacy encompasses both tangible wealth and enduring personal values. Operating as accomplished estate planning lawyers, wills lawyers, and trusts lawyers, the legal team structures tailored testamentary tools that eliminate confusion and facilitate smooth generational wealth transfers:
- Revocable Living Trusts: Building flexible, private trusts that bypass the expense of probate, preserve complete family confidentiality, and provide for seamless management during cognitive decline.
- Last Wills and Testaments: Drafting precise wills that govern residual asset distribution, coordinate with comprehensive trust frameworks, and designate guardians for minor dependents.
- Incapacity Directives: Serving as trusted power of attorney lawyers to prepare durable powers of attorney, healthcare directives, and living wills that protect financial and medical autonomy.
Business Planning, Tax Mitigation, and Trust Administration
In addition to foundational estate work, McCullough Law acts as capable business formation lawyers and contract lawyers advising founders on ownership transitions, buy-sell agreements, and equity protection. Having represented the owners of leading companies such as Vivint, Stance, doTERRA, and Lucid, the firm aligns corporate restructuring with strategic tax minimization. Furthermore, their experienced probate lawyers and trust administrators guide successor trustees through notice requirements, asset valuations, and informal probate administration with meticulous precision.
Exceptional Client Care for Multi-Generational Legacies
McCullough Law is dedicated to an uncommon standard of client care, pairing every client with a responsive multidisciplinary legal team that values humility, precision, and lifelong relationships. When executives and discerning families seek to find a lawyer who understands ultra-high-net-worth estate dynamics, or need to hire an attorney to protect their life work, McCullough Law delivers enduring peace of mind across Provo and nationwide.
