Utah Code § 57-1-29 governs trustee proceeds, paying expenses, trust-deed obligations and the balance to entitled people, with disputed excess optionally deposited in district court.

If another person petitions for deposited excess, the statutory notice and response process controls, including a 60-day contest period after petition notice. Act promptly.
