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.

The process was not difficult but I don't think that it suited my needs. There were several fields that were not applicable to me but I had to enter something to proceed. I also filled out the other form and mailed it in with some documentation that the electronic service did not ask for. Questions of my attempt are still unanswered. I hope I didn't waste time with this process. We shall see. Thank you.
Thank you!

I had no clue how to write an easement termination, and I did not want to pay an attorney for it, so I ordered the instructions and form. It was very helpful to have a completed sample. I am satisfied and confident in the document I produced.
We appreciate your business and value your feedback. Thank you. Have a wonderful day!

Found this site very easy to navigate and customer service very supportive and quickly answers any questions you have regarding forms. Best of all you can get the forms you need and only pay for those forms, not tied to some ongoing fee that you must cancel if you have no further need beyond forms you've already purchased.
