Justin Eckman
Justin’s passion for estate planning stems from a deeply personal experience. After his grandparents passed away without a will, he witnessed firsthand the stress and confusion that distributing the family farm caused. The process dragged on, emotions ran high, and it became clear to him that there had to be a better way to handle something so important. That moment stuck with him, and it’s why he’s committed to helping others avoid that kind of uncertainty.
For Justin, estate planning is about more than just paperwork. It’s about ensuring your hard-earned assets go where you want them to go, easing the burden on your loved ones during a difficult time, and reflecting on the legacy you want to leave behind. He loves this work because it empowers everyday people to be intentional, creative, and in control of their future. There’s no one-size-fits-all plan here; whether your priority is charitable giving, creating a legacy for your posterity, protecting children with special needs, or even just ensuring your guns and jewelry are distributed according to your wishes, Justin takes the time to truly understand you and your values.
Education
Justin received his J.D. from the University of Utah in 2024, building on his undergraduate studies at Brigham Young University-Idaho, where he graduated in 2016.
