Under the Fourth Amendment and Utah law, a search and seizure is generally considered reasonable if it is based on probable cause and conducted with a valid warrant. There are exceptions, such as consent or exigent circumstances, but the general rule requires adherence to these standards to ensure constitutional protections.
Under Utah Code Ann. § 78B-2-307, the statute of limitations for bringing a personal injury claim is generally 2 years from the date of the injury. This period applies to claims seeking damages for personal injury caused by negligence or other wrongful acts.
Under the Utah Rules of Evidence, character evidence is generally not admissible to prove that a person acted in accordance with their character on a particular occasion. However, there are exceptions, such as when character evidence is used in criminal cases to rebut specific claims made by the defendant or to prove motive, intent, or other aspects of the case.
According to Rule 12(a) of the Utah Rules of Civil Procedure, a defendant typically has 20 days to respond to a complaint. This time frame allows the defendant to file an answer or other appropriate response.
In Utah, for a deed to be valid, it must be signed by the grantor, and it is strongly recommended (though not always strictly required for validity) to have the deed notarized and include a legal description of the property. While recording the deed in the county where the property is located is necessary to provide public notice and protect against subsequent claims, the deed's validity is not dependent on recording. Witnesses are not required for the validity of the deed in Utah.
