About Klea Harris

Attorney Klea Harris\'s estate planning practice focuses on helping families enhance their lives today and secure their futures tomorrow. She excels in helping young families and retirees, people like you, who want to plan and prepare their children for a time when they are no longer able to guide and protect them on earth, a time when they will become their guardian angel through their purposeful, living estate plan. Klea\'s legal experience includes special needs, wealth preservation, Medicaid crisis as well as values-based planning. She also implements strategies for young families with children to protect. Married or single, a traditional family or blended one, just starting out or looking back on a life well-lived, Klea will guide you through the often confusing maze of financial and legal decisions and craft a plan that ensures the well-being of your family and achieves your goals for your loved ones today and for years to come. Klea has always enjoyed assisting aging populations and those who love them. She assisted several elderly couples as a high school student, minored in gerontology in college, and served nine years as a volunteer Meals on Wheels driver. She currently serves as chair of the Utah Valley Caregiver Conference and participates in the Utah Bar\'s Business section as chair and Estate Planning section as a member of the legislative committee spearheading a revisit of the Utah Statutory Advanced Health Directive. Klea routinely lectures on a variety of topics including family wealth planning, wealth preservation, and asset protection of inheritances. Klea sees education as her primary role with her clients and their families, especially through the avenue of family meetings to develop unifying charitable purposes and avoid trust narcissism and trust dissipation. Since 2016, Klea has focused exclusively on Trusts and Estates because she is passionate about helping families create happy and secure futures. Klea graduated from J. Reuben Clark School of Law in 2007. Klea sat on the USOE Prevention Steering Committee from 20••••14. She is a certified PREP Marriage Educator and co-taught marriage enrichment seminars for the Utah Marriage Commission with her husband, Michael. In 2023 Klea completed her Certified Family Wealth Advisor and Certified Family Business Advisor with the Family Firm Institute.
