RANDALL J HOLMGREN
"I help my clients face the reality that they may become mentally disabled
-- and they will die. Either event can happen today, tomorrow, or years from
now. Prudent people prepare for those eventualities now. My professional duty
is to help my clients prepare legally, thoughtfully and thoroughly. I use over
two decades of professional experience to help them set up Wills, Trusts and
other legal documents that reflect their innermost hopes and desires. To do
that, I listen with my mind and my heart."
Randall "Randy" Holmgren's practice focuses almost exclusively on
"estate planning." Among other things, he helps people set up Wills
and Trusts and other preventative planning systems -- all designed to make sure
that the client's assets go to the right people, at the right time, and in the
right way. When those three objectives are accomplished, Mr. Holmgren helps
survivors administer estates and trusts when people have passed away.
Sometimes, when estate planning has not been thorough, up-to-date, or not prepared
at all, and courts must be utilized to administer the affairs of decedents,
Randy utilizes various Jones Waldo attorneys who are skilled in handling court
proceedings. However, Mr. Holmgren is not a stranger to the courts, and in 1990
he utilized the jurisdiction of the U.S. Federal District Court to return small
children to their mother in Australia after they had been unlawfully abducted
by her estranged husband and brought to the United States. That case -- involving
state and federal law and international treaties, and emergency circumstances
-- was fast-tracked through the courts in the space of less than two weeks while
it established a precedent for resolving international child-abduction cases.
Randy was born in Brigham City, Utah and has lived in Utah almost all of his
life. He attended Utah State University on an athletic scholarship and received
his Bachelor's Degree from Brigham Young University in 1980 where he served
in many student-administrative positions including Student body Vice President.
In 1983 he received his Juris Doctor (law) Degree from Pepperdine University
Law School in Malibu, California and was admitted to practice law in the State
of Utah.
Mr. Holmgren is admitted to practice before the Utah Supreme Court, the United
States District Court for the District of Utah, and the United States Supreme
Court (effective October 2006). He is a member of the American Academy of Estate
Planning Attorneys, the Utah State Bar Estate Planning Section, and the Salt
Lake Estate Planning Council. He recently served on a Committee to assist the
Utah State Legislature revise Utah's trust laws.
Randy has presented hundreds of lectures, seminars and workshops on various
"estate planning" topics. He has been a frequent presenter at colleges,
universities, state conventions, financial institutions, and church and social
groups.
Randy and his wife, Julie, are the parents of five children. They are active
in church and community events and causes.
