A deeded right of ingress and egress turns informal permission to cross a neighbor's land into a recorded property right. This Vermont Easement Deed grants a perpetual right-of-way for access, on foot and by vehicle, over a described strip of one parcel for the benefit of an adjoining parcel. The form is set up for a single grantor, the owner of the burdened land, and it carries a joinder block for the grantor's spouse for the situation where the burdened parcel is homestead property.
A right-of-way that runs with the land
The deed recites both parcels: the burdened property the way crosses, and the benefited property it serves. That pairing is what makes the easement appurtenant, the construction Vermont courts favor over a merely personal right (Scott v. Leonard, 119 Vt. 86 (1956); Barrett v. Kunz, 158 Vt. 15 (1992)). An appurtenant easement attaches to the benefited land itself: it passes automatically with every later sale or inheritance of that land, and the benefit cannot be split off and transferred separately. The deed states the appurtenance expressly, together with a habendum to the grantee's heirs, successors, and assigns, so nothing about the easement's character is left to presumption. A recorded easement instrument also enjoys lasting record protection, since Vermont's marketable record title law excepts easements created by recorded instrument from extinguishment (27 V.S.A. § 604(a)(7)).
Built around the driveway and access pattern
The form describes the right-of-way in practical terms: a defined easement area with its width, course, and endpoints, commonly a strip along an existing drive, with room to cite a recorded survey plat by volume and page, the citation 27 V.S.A. § 341(b) contemplates for a deed that refers to a survey. The grant is perpetual and nonexclusive, so the grantor keeps every use of the burdened land that does not unreasonably interfere with passage, and an optional terms section holds maintenance and snowplowing arrangements. The deed's covenant is a limited one, reaching claims that arise by, through, or under the grantor. A back lot reached over a neighbor's gravel lane, a parcel without practical road frontage, and a shared drive serving two homes present the pattern this deed recites. The form recites one grantor of record; a burdened parcel owned by two people, including spouses holding as tenants by the entirety, presents a pattern with additional grantor signatures rather than a single grantor block.
One signature, and sometimes a second
The grantor signs before a notary public: 27 V.S.A. § 341(a) makes signature, acknowledgment, and town recording the Vermont execution formula, with no witness requirement for an ordinary deed. Where the burdened parcel is the homestead of a married grantor, Vermont law makes the conveyance inoperative as to the homestead unless the spouse joins in the execution and acknowledgment (27 V.S.A. § 141), so the deed carries a labeled spouse joinder section with its own acknowledgment certificate, and the two signers can appear before different notaries on different dates. Printed names appear under the signature lines, the detail 32 V.S.A. § 1405 lets a recording official require.
Recorded in the town, taxed as a transfer
Vermont records land documents with the clerk of the town or city where the land lies; there is no county recording system. The statewide fee is $15.00 per page. A perpetual easement counts as title to property under the transfer tax definitions (32 V.S.A. § 9601(3)(A)), so a Vermont Property Transfer Tax Return, Form PTT-172, accompanies the deed at the counter, and the clerk cannot record without a complete return (32 V.S.A. § 9608). The general rate, including the clean water surcharge, is 1.47 percent of the consideration paid for the easement, and the statute lists exemptions for particular transfers.
The download contains three pieces: the easement deed as a fillable PDF, a completed example showing every section filled in for a realistic Vermont fact pattern, and a plain language guide that explains each blank, the signing and joinder mechanics, and the recording and transfer tax process step by step. The materials are informational and are not legal advice.

I found the path from the home page to actually ordering the document I wanted extremely convoluted and non-intuitive. I went around in circles several times before I figured out how to actually buy the document.
Thank you for your feedback. We really appreciate it. Have a great day!

5 stars. Licensed to practice law for 25 years in multiple jurisdictions, the most dreaded part of doing what you already know how to do is researching again to make sure the legislatures have not changed the rules while you were doing something else. 22 bucks for this package is one hell of a deal and a real timesaver. Many thanks.
Thank you for your feedback. We really appreciate it. Have a great day!

Great service! I downloaded the Quit Claim Deed package and I'm so grateful I did. It contained detailed directions on how to fill out all the forms, an example of a finalized copy, and excellent customer service. Also, if you choose to use their digital service, they will digitally submit the documents into the County Recorder's Office for you. Going through DEEDS.COM for the service I chose saved me over $300. Recording my new deed was a breeze. Thank you again DEEDS.com!
