Quick answer: a separate affidavit lets a successor claim up to four vehicles, boats, or trailers registered in Utah, filed with the Division of Motor Vehicles rather than a bank.
A dedicated affidavit, capped at four
The DMV, not the bank, is the audience
This affidavit is filed with the Utah Division of Motor Vehicles, rather than presented to a bank or other financial institution the way the general small estate affidavit works.
Its own affidavit, not shared math with the bank version
The vehicle affidavit is a separate form specific to vehicles, boats, and trailers — distinct from the general personal-property affidavit that carries the $100,000 estate-wide cap, so the two shouldn't be confused with each other.
A pending appointment still blocks either affidavit
Neither small estate affidavit applies once an application for the appointment of a personal representative is pending or has already been granted anywhere for the estate — the personal representative's own authority governs vehicle transfers instead in that situation.
A local probate attorney can review your estate — many offer a free consultation.
The Division of Motor Vehicles processes this affidavit the same way statewide, regardless of which county's district court would otherwise handle a formal estate.
