Frequently Asked Questions

Am I protected from deficiency in Utah?+
Yes. After a non-judicial trust deed foreclosure (which is how almost all Utah residential foreclosures proceed), lender CANNOT pursue a deficiency judgment. Utah Code § 57-1-32 says the trust deed foreclosure sale satisfies the debt. This means: you lose the home, but you owe nothing further. If the lender forecloses judicially (rare for residential), deficiency IS available — but this is uncommon.
