Questions answered? Let's get started!

When the land under a driveway or access strip belongs to two people, a right-of-way over it takes both of their signatures. This Vermont easement deed conveys a perpetual, nonexclusive easement for ingress and egress, meaning access on foot and by vehicle, over land owned by two grantors, and it carries a signature line and a separate notary certificate for each of them.

Two grantors, one burdened parcel

The form recites exactly two record owners of the burdened land, joining in a single deed to grant one easement to the owner of a neighboring benefited parcel. An easement burdens the whole parcel, so every record owner joins in granting it; the deed's two signature blocks and two acknowledgment certificates let the grantors sign on different dates, before different notaries, or in different states. Co-owner pairs present this pattern throughout Vermont land records: siblings holding inherited road frontage as tenants in common, spouses holding as tenants by the entirety, and unmarried co-owners whose shared drive crosses a neighbor's lot line. A burdened parcel with a single record owner, or with three or more owners, presents a different signature pattern than this deed recites, and an easement in gross, one granted without a benefited parcel, follows a different structure as well.

A right-of-way that runs with the land

The deed is built as an appurtenant easement, the kind Vermont practice uses for driveway easements and private access easements between neighbors. It describes three pieces of land in sequence: the grantors' burdened parcel, the grantee's benefited parcel, and the easement area itself, the strip of stated width and location over which the right-of-way runs. Identifying the benefited parcel inside the deed is what ties the easement to that land, so the right-of-way passes automatically with every later sale of the benefited property. Where the easement area appears on a survey plat, Vermont's recording statute has a specific expectation: under 27 V.S.A. Section 341(b), a deed referring to a survey prepared or revised after July 1, 1988 is accompanied by the survey or cites the volume and page where the plat is recorded, and the completed example shows that citation style. The deed also carries an optional additional-terms section for maintenance, plowing, and cost-sharing provisions, and a limited express covenant in which the grantors warrant the easement against claims arising by, through, or under themselves.

Recording with the town clerk, with Vermont's transfer tax return

Vermont records land documents by town and city rather than by county, so the deed goes to the clerk of the municipality where the burdened land lies. Under 27 V.S.A. Sections 341 and 342, the deed is signed, acknowledged before a notary public, and recorded, and an unrecorded conveyance is not effectual against anyone but the grantor and the grantor's heirs, which is why an easement of this kind is placed of record promptly. Recording costs $15.00 per page statewide. One step surprises many first-time filers: Vermont's property transfer tax reaches a perpetual easement, because 32 V.S.A. Section 9601 defines title to property to include it, so the deed is presented together with a completed Property Transfer Tax Return, Form PTT-172, and the clerk cannot record the deed without it. The guide walks through the tax rates, the exemption list, and the return's $15.00 filing fee at the point in the process where they arise.

The download includes the blank easement deed as a fillable PDF, a line-by-line guide to every numbered section, and a completed example showing the entire deed filled in for a realistic Vermont fact pattern. The materials describe the form and the governing statutes in general terms; they are informational and are not legal advice.

The documents themselves are fine and the information provided with them is helpful. I find the actual processing of the documents, however, to be difficult particularly once the document has been saved. First, I note that the box for the date only allows entry of the last 2 digits of the year. Unfortunately, my download only allows me to enter one of the 2 digits required. When I delete it repeatedly, it eventually allows both digits to be entered but puts them in extremely small text and in superscrypt. I have not found a solution to this problem and am not sure the deed can even be recorded with this problem. Another problem is that if you try to revise the document after you have saved it the curser goes to the end of the line after each key entry. This means that there basically is no way to efficiently save the document for reworking later since you will have to delete everything you have entered in the text box unless you only need to make a single keystroke change or are willing to replace the curser after each entry. Try that with a long property description! Please note that I am using a Mac to prepare my documents and perhaps this is part of an "incompatibility problem". However, I didn't see a disclaimer regarding Mac use and so would expect the documents to perform correctly. Overall, I give the program a "2 star" rating because I am experiencing significant difficulties in entering dates in the documents even before saving them and because saving your work for later revision appears to be basically unworkable.
