      A few years ago, while lecturing at a law seminar, Kent  recognized the unmet need of many families to resolve small estates or estates with more debt than assets.  He found that many such estates are never administered because of  concern for fees charged by attorneys, and fear that the family members themselves will have to pay the decedent's debts. After years of exploring options, Kent designed Zero Down Probate as the answer. Kent is a frequent lecturer at Estate Planning and Probate Training Seminars for other attorneys.
      A Pocatello native, Kent has practiced law at Merrill & Merrill since 2002. Kent received both his bachelor’s degree and law degree from Brigham Young University in 1979 and 1982, respectively.
