Warranty deeds and quitclaim deeds are the most common. A warranty deed is typically used in arm's-length sales because it guarantees clear title, while a quitclaim deed is often used for transfers between family members or to clear up title issues without a title guarantee.
Many do. Deeds and certain other conveyancing documents generally require notarization before they can be recorded with the county. It is worth confirming the requirements for your specific document before finalizing it.
A freehold interest — such as a fee simple estate — gives the owner indefinite ownership of land and improvements. A leasehold interest grants the right to occupy premises for a defined term under a lease agreement, after which possession returns to the property owner.
Parties can generally customize many lease terms by mutual agreement, but certain landlord-tenant protections established under Utah law apply regardless of what a lease states — such as the landlord's duty to maintain habitable premises.
Earnest money is a deposit made by the buyer to demonstrate serious intent when entering a purchase agreement. It is typically held in escrow and may be applied to the purchase price at closing, or subject to forfeiture or return depending on how contingencies are resolved.
