About RobRoy
Biography
After nearly twenty years practicing estate planning, business succession planning, trust administration, and wealth transfer planning in Utah, I transitioned from private legal practice in July 2026 to serve as Vice President and Senior Wealth Planning Strategist with Zions Bancorporation.
In this role, I work as part of Zions Wealth's planning team, helping high-net-worth individuals, families, business owners, and their advisors evaluate sophisticated wealth planning, estate planning, tax planning, charitable giving, business succession, and related planning strategies.
I am no longer engaged in the private practice of law, do not represent clients as an attorney through this profile, and am not accepting legal engagements.
Former clients seeking legal representation should contact an attorney of their choosing. Those wishing to contact my former law firm may reach out to Melissa Platt at Platt Law, P.C.
