Terms Used In Utah Code 75-2a-120

• Agent: means an adult designated in an advance health care directive to make health care decisions for the declarant. See Utah Code 75-2a-103
• Court: means any of the courts of record in this state having jurisdiction in matters relating to the affairs of decedents. See Utah Code 75-1-201 v2
• Default surrogate: means the adult who may make decisions for an individual when either:
       (8)(a) an agent or guardian has not been appointed; or
       (8)(b) an agent is not able, available, or willing to make decisions for an adult. See Utah Code 75-2a-103
• Equitable: Pertaining to civil suits in "equity" rather than in "law." In English legal history, the courts of "law" could order the payment of damages and could afford no other remedy. See damages. A separate court of "equity" could order someone to do something or to cease to do something. See, e.g., injunction. In American jurisprudence, the federal courts have both legal and equitable power, but the distinction is still an important one. For example, a trial by jury is normally available in "law" cases but not in "equity" cases. ^{Source: U.S. Courts}
