Starting May 6, 2026, anyone receiving title to real property in Utah must sign a statement as part of the deed acknowledging that the property's boundaries may be subject to adverse possession (a legal process by which someone who has openly used land for a long time may gain ownership rights), boundary by acquiescence (where a long-accepted fence line or boundary between neighbors becomes the legal boundary), or a right-of-way (someone else's legal right to cross or use part of the property). A deed that does not include this signed acknowledgment cannot be recorded with the county. People buying property in Utah will now have formal notice at the time of purchase that their boundary lines may not be fully settled, which could prompt buyers to investigate potential boundary disputes before completing a transaction.
