The booklet is too wordy. Not concise enough for someone who is inexperienced at filling out your form. It would be nice to have a picture example of what you are talking about. When we got to the Registars office we found out they do not have a notary. Would have been nice to know before we went. The form asks for page and book which is no longer needed. So why have it on there?

Reply from Staff

Thank you, Marolyn, this is useful feedback. A completed sample is actually included with the form, and your note tells us we should make it easier to find and tie it more directly to the instructions, so we'll do that. We'll also add a "before you begin" checklist and a clearer note that the document needs to be notarized in advance, since recording offices don't provide notary service. On the book and page: that reference is required by the Utah statute this affidavit is filed under (§ 57-1-5.1) and still applies to older deeds recorded before counties moved to entry-number-only indexing around 2000. You enter whichever reference appears on your recorded deed and leave the rest blank. Appreciate you taking the time to write in.
