The Uniform Probate Code (UPC) is a statutory model for state probate statutes. The UPC has been adopted, at least in part, by 18 states. Additionally, those states that have not adopted the UPC have still had their statutes heavily influenced by it. In fact, most law students studying Wills, Trusts, and Estates will use the UPC as the default for learning. The UPC was drafted by the National Conference of Commissioners on Uniform State Laws (NCCUSL). The UPC was originally drafted in 1969 in order to streamline the rules regarding Wills, Will Substitutes, Trusts, Intestacy and the probate process in general.

The Uniform Trust Code (UTC), like the UPC, is a model act designed as a guide for states. As the name implies, the UTC is designed to create a uniform set of laws regarding trusts. As of 2009 twenty-four states have adopted, in whole or in part, the UTC.
