Questions answered? Let's get started!

This Vermont correction deed carries a trustee-grantor configuration: a trustee who has already conveyed Vermont real property by a recorded deed, and who now places a correction of that deed on record in the same representative capacity. The form is a Vermont instrument through and through, built around one trustee signature line, one representative-capacity acknowledgment certificate, and the recital pattern a corrective instrument carries in Vermont title practice.

A second deed that fixes the first

A correction deed, also searched as a corrective deed or deed of correction, is a re-execution rather than a fresh bargain. The form identifies the prior recorded deed by its instrument title, its date, and its volume and page in the town land records; states the error the record shows; states the correction; and then confirms, corrects, and conveys the property to the same grantee, as corrected, without additional consideration. Vermont prescribes no statutory correction deed form, so the instrument runs on the general conveyance chapter: signed by the grantor, acknowledged before a notary public, and recorded at length with the clerk of the town where the land lies under 27 V.S.A. 341, with 27 V.S.A. 342 giving the recorded deed its effect against third parties.

The trustee signs again, in the same capacity

The configuration is the variant. The grantor section identifies the trustee and the trust exactly as the prior deed stated them, the operative section recites that the signer acts solely as trustee and not individually, and the single acknowledgment certificate matches the representative-capacity short form in 26 V.S.A. 5368. An optional blank takes the recording reference of a certification of trust already on record, the sworn instrument 14A V.S.A. 1013 makes usable as evidence of a trustee's authority to convey. The fact patterns that present this deed are familiar ones in trust conveyancing: a trustee's deed out of a family revocable trust that recites the wrong lot number, a grantee surname misspelled at the closing table, a trust date carried incorrectly from an older draft. The form recites one trustee grantor acting for one identified trust; a correction of a deed that individual owners signed in their own right follows a different signer pattern and is not what this form recites.

No new transfer tax on a true correction

Vermont taxes transfers by deed under 32 V.S.A. 9602, and the statute answers the correction pattern directly: 32 V.S.A. 9603(4) exempts transfers that, without additional consideration, confirm or correct a transfer previously recorded. The paperwork still travels with the deed. A Vermont Property Transfer Tax Return, Form PTT-172, accompanies every deed delivered for recording, with the corrective exemption entered as number 04 on Line E1, and under 32 V.S.A. 9608 the town clerk cannot record a deed without a return that is complete and regular on its face together with the required Act 250 certificate. The guide included with this form walks through that filing alongside the deed itself.

Recorded with the town clerk, not a county recorder

Vermont land records live at the municipal level, so the corrected deed returns to the same town or city land records that hold the deed it corrects. The statewide recording fee under 32 V.S.A. 1671 is fifteen dollars per page, plus fifteen dollars for filing the transfer tax return. The acknowledgment is valid without an official stamp affixed to the notary's signature, and where the legal description cites a plat or survey recorded after mid-1988, the deed cites the volume and page where that survey is recorded, in the manner the completed example demonstrates.

The download delivers exactly three things: this correction deed as a blank fillable PDF, a completed example showing a corrected lot-number transfer recorded in a Vermont town's land records, and a plain-language guide that walks every section, the trustee's signing formality, and the recording steps. The materials describe Vermont law and the form itself; they are informational and are not legal advice.

I found the process of downloading and completing the documents very user friendly. Thank you for the Declare Value instructions. It was easy to follow, though a sample of the declaration form would be very useful. I didn't know how to list my "capacity" so I left it blank so the recorder could advise me. Otherwise, thank you so much for being available for people who are capable of completing simple legal tasks without the expense of a lawyer. Thank you, thank you, thank you!!!

My goal was to find the Covenant, Conditions, and Restrictions for my HOA. From what I can read, these documents should be attached to our Deed (single family, patio home in New Hanover County). I am not sure if I have a copy of my Deed. I would need to check my Safe Deposit Box. Unfortunately, I was not successful at finding these documents from your Website. If you can help me find them, I would appreciate that.

Reply from Staff

It is most common to obtain a copy of CC&Rs directly from the HOA. Alternatively, they are also usually a matter of public record recorded with the local recorder and you can obtain a copy there.

I was a little nervous about doing this, but it was very simple. I was thrilled that I could use the sheet that helped me fill out the form. That made it easy. I did like that you knew what the charge was going to be in the beginning, not like the other websites.

Get Rid of the places to initial each page on the Trust Deed. The Co. Recorder (Davis) does not require that each page be initialled... If I and the "borrower" had initialed each page, then I would have to use US Mail to get the form from AZ to UT because scans of initials are not acceptable, but only a notarized signature from the borrower is...
