Questions answered? Let's get started!
35-03-01.2. Nature, extent, and effect of lien - Security not to be impaired.
1. A mortgage is a lien upon everything that would pass by a grant of the property, and upon nothing more.
2. A mortgage is a lien upon the property mortgaged in the hands of everyone claiming under the mortgagor subsequently to its execution, except purchasers and encumbrancers in good faith without notice and for value.
3. Real property held adversely to the mortgagor may be mortgaged, and such a mortgage takes effect from the time at which the mortgagor or one claiming under the mortgagor obtains possession of the property and has precedence over every lien upon the mortgagor's interest in the property created subsequently to the recording of the mortgage.
4. Title acquired by the mortgagor subsequent to the execution of the mortgage inures to the mortgagee as security for the debt in like manner as if acquired before the execution.
5. In the absence of an express covenant, a mortgage does not bind the mortgagor personally to perform the act for the performance of which it is a security.
6. A mortgage does not entitle the mortgagee to the possession of the property, but after the execution of a mortgage, the mortgagor may agree to the change of possession without a new consideration.
7. The assignment of a debt secured by a mortgage carries the security with it.
8. No person whose interest is subject to the lien of a mortgage may do any act which will substantially impair the mortgagee's security.
35-03-07. Record - Notice to whom.
The record of a mortgage duly made operates as notice to all subsequent purchasers and encumbrancers.
Use this form to finance residential property, small commercial property, vacant land, condominiums, rental property and planned unit developments. A promissory note and mortgage with stringent default terms can be beneficial to the lender.

It would be helpful to have a frequently asked questions section. That would make it easier to know I have the correct form. Sherry
Thank you for your feedback. We really appreciate it. Have a great day!

The site was easy to navigate, which was great. The communication with the agents was quick and helped me get my forms processed correctly.
Thank you, Lynnette. We’re glad everything moved quickly and stayed clear from start to finish. We’ll be sure to pass the kind words along to the team.

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?
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.

I liked the software, it's very easy to use. Once it's saved as a .pdf document on your computer, the source document is lost when you log out. I wish it could be saved and then edited on their site later instead of having to create a new document from scratch each time.
Thank you for your feedback. We really appreciate it. Have a great day!

This service is fantastic! Took a few tries to scan the document correctly, but their patience and quick turn around made this a far better experience than going to the County myself.
We are delighted to have been of service. Thank you for the positive review!
