A Utah Affidavit of Survivorship is a legal document used to transfer ownership of property from one person to another upon the death of the original owner. The affidavit is filed with the county recorder's office and must be signed by all parties involved in the transfer of ownership. There are two types of Utah Affidavit of Survivorship: an Affidavit of Survivorship for Joint Tenancy and an Affidavit of Survivorship for Community Property. The Affidavit of Survivorship for Joint Tenancy is used when the original owner of the property is survived by two or more persons who held the property jointly. The Affidavit of Survivorship for Community Property is used when the original owner of the property is survived by a spouse or domestic partner who held the property as community property. Both forms of affidavits are typically used in the event of the death of an original owner of property to transfer ownership to the surviving parties.
