Utah Affidavit of Survivorship: Clearing Title After a Joint Owner's Death

Utah's affidavit of survivorship, also called an affidavit of surviving joint tenant, is governed by Section 57-1-5.1 of the Utah Code. It is used after one owner of jointly held property dies, to update the public record and confirm the surviving owner's title.

How Survivorship Transfers Title in Utah

When property is held in joint tenancy, each owner has a right of survivorship. The deceased owner's interest terminates automatically upon death and passes to the surviving owner or owners by operation of law, without probate. Recording this affidavit discloses that termination in the public record, confirming the survivor's ownership and removing the deceased owner from the chain of title.

What Utah Code § 57-1-5.1 Requires

Under Section 57-1-5.1, the affidavit must cite the interest being terminated; contain a legal description of the property; refer to the recording information of the deed that created the interest; include a copy of the deceased owner's death certificate, or other qualifying government-issued proof of death, attached as an exhibit; and be recorded in the recorder's office for the county where the property is located.

Why Recording the Affidavit Matters

Recording the affidavit maintains a clear chain of title (the property's ownership history), which in turn helps to simplify future sales, refinancing, and other transactions. Each circumstance is unique, so contact an attorney with specific questions or for complex situations.

I am still working on the forms. I am having problems doing the forms as you can only save as pdf and it is difficult to change or modify the pdf. You have to purchase a pdf convertor program. but all seems to be there to do the deed submittals.

The site was not easy to navigate. Maybe putting the different things offered at the heading instead of searching for it.
