Questions answered? Let's get started!

A mistake in a recorded Vermont deed that conveyed property to a trustee does not fix itself, and the town clerk cannot amend a document already in the land records. This Vermont correction deed, also searched as a corrective deed or deed of correction, is built for exactly that configuration: the original grantor re-executes the conveyance to a grantee who holds title as trustee of a trust, identifies the recorded deed being corrected, states the error and the correction, and confirms the transfer as it was meant to read.

A recorded correction for a recorded error

Vermont records deeds town by town, in the clerk's office of the town or city where the land lies, and under 27 V.S.A. 342 an acknowledged, recorded deed is what holds the estate against anyone beyond the grantor and the grantor's heirs. The correction deed works inside that system: it identifies the earlier deed by its date and its volume and page in the town land records, describes the error exactly, states the correction, restates the legal description, and confirms the conveyance except as corrected. The earlier deed stays of record, and the correction deed follows it in the chain of title, so a later examiner reads the two together and the error stops propagating into future abstracts.

The trustee in the grantee clause

The grantee section of this form names the trustee, the trust, and the trust's date, in the style Margaret H. Ellison, Trustee of the Ellison Family Revocable Trust, dated April 12, 2019. Trust details are a common home for small drafting errors: a trust date carried over wrong from an earlier draft, a misspelled trustee name, a trust name that differs between the deed and the trust instrument. Vermont places express trusts of land in a signed writing under 27 V.S.A. 303, so the deed identifies the trust while the trust instrument supplies its terms, and a grantee clause that misidentifies either detail leaves a title examiner matching documents that do not agree. The form is set up as a correction instrument with a trustee grantee, not as a first-time transfer into a trust: its sections assume a deed already of record, and its operative language re-conveys to the same trustee the prior deed named, as corrected.

No new transfer tax on a true correction

A Vermont Property Transfer Tax Return, Form PTT-172, accompanies every deed delivered to a town clerk for recording; under 32 V.S.A. 9608 the clerk cannot record without it. The correction deed has its own place in that system. 32 V.S.A. 9603(4) exempts transfers that, without additional consideration, confirm or correct a transfer previously recorded, and the Department of Taxes' instructions call for the return to be filed even for an exempt transfer, with the exemption number entered on the return itself. The distinction matters: a document that adds land, changes parties, or reflects new consideration is a new transfer rather than a correction, and the exemption does not describe it. The consideration section of this form states the without-additional-consideration character of the transaction in words that track the statute.

Signing and recording in the town, not the county

The grantor of the prior deed signs the correction deed and acknowledges it before a notary public, the execution formality 27 V.S.A. 341 sets for Vermont deeds; no subscribing witnesses appear in the statute, and the acknowledgment is valid without an official stamp affixed to the notary's signature. The form carries two grantor signature blocks, each with its own acknowledgment certificate, so a deed originally given by two grantors, a married couple among the common patterns, re-executes on one instrument, and a single-grantor correction leaves the second block blank. Recording happens where the original recording happened, with the clerk of the town or city where the land lies, at the statewide fee of $15.00 per page plus $15.00 for the transfer tax return.

The download contains the correction deed as a fillable PDF, a completed example showing a realistic Addison County correction from start to finish, and a plain-language guide that walks through every numbered section, the signing formalities, and the recording steps. The materials describe Vermont law in general terms and are not legal advice.

Very easy to use and no hidden costs. You get to download whatever you need and can save it and even reuse it. So it's like having your own library of form that you pay for once. They even give you more related forms than you ask for and it turned out we needed some if those forms as well. The forms meet what our county requires for margins in records and so on. So I will use deeds.com again when I need a different kind of legal form.

Great and fast service. Would have been grate to have seen a little more detail or a pre-filled sample in the fields. Had a little confussion in some of the lines to fill out since the guide only explains a few of the lines not all of them. Otherwise, is really great to have this service with low cost. Thank you.

You did not include the Notice of Intent to File a Lien Statement form which is necessary to properly file a mechanic's lien in Colorado. If you are going to charge people $20 to download the forms, you should include all of them not half of them.

I'm 84 and not all that smart when it comes to what a Lawyer usually helps you with, but I took a chance to see if I could do this. Walla, I was able to do it. I was helping my son who had a stroke a few years ago and the transaction went well. Thank you.

Purchased the Warranty Deed package for $19.95 which included all the forms I needed including instructions and a sample form. Seamless transaction filing with our local county clerk's office - she even commented it was one of the best prepared packages she has seen. Thanks for saving me a ton of money!
