Judgments shall continue for eight years from the date of entry in a court unless previously satisfied or unless enforcement of the judgment is stayed in ance with law.
You take or mail something called an 'Abstract of Judgment' to the county recorder's office. This is a document that summarizes the court's decision. Once the Abstract of Judgment is recorded, it creates a 'general' lien. Think of it as a giant sticky note that attaches to all the debtor's real property in that county.
File the judgment or Abstract of Judgment in the office of the County Recorder in the county in which the debtor's real property is located. If the debtor has real property in more than one county, file in each county. Also file with the County Recorder a Judgment Information Statement.
If the judgment was a default, the defendant/respondent may be given an opportunity to answer the complaint or petition. If the court finds the judgment was already satisfied, the case may be dismissed because it has already been completed.
No judgment by default shall be entered against the state of Utah or against an officer or agency thereof unless the claimant establishes his claim or right to relief by evidence satisfactory to the court.
Ten Day Summons A plaintiff uses this kind of summons if they want to serve the defendant before filing a case with the court. The plaintiff must file the complaint with the court within 10 days after the defendant was served with the summons and complaint.
If one or both parties believe there is a clerical mistake in a judgment or order, they can file a Motion to Correct Clerical Mistake under Utah Rule of Civil Procedure 60(a). The general process is for one party to file the motion and send a copy to the other party.

This Rule 55(a) requires that the Court enter all judgments by default and preserves Circuit Rule 15. Federal Rule 55(b) permits the Clerk to enter judgments by default for sums certain, if there has been no appearance, and if the defendant is not a minor or incompetent person; and that provision was deleted.
