Questions answered? Let's get started!
A Vermont executor deed is signed by one person in one capacity: the executor of a deceased owner's estate, conveying under a license to sell or order of sale issued by the Vermont Superior Court, Probate Division. This fillable form prepares that deed for an individual executor serving alone, transferring Vermont real property out of a testate estate to a purchaser, with a completed example and a full guide alongside it.
A deed that carries its probate authority on its face
Vermont's probate sale statutes put the court at the center. Under 14 V.S.A. § 1651, the Probate Division may license an executor to sell estate real property when the sale appears necessary or beneficial, and a certified copy of the license to sell or order of sale is recorded in the same land records office where the deed is recorded. Where the will expressly confers a power of sale, the statute directs the court to issue the license without notice or hearing for property subject to that power, with a carve-out for a dwelling house in which the surviving spouse or an heir, devisee, or legatee is residing. The payoff arrives in 14 V.S.A. § 1652: the deed of an executor who has obtained a certified copy of the license or order is valid to convey the real estate authorized to be sold.
This form is built around that record trail. Its probate authority section identifies the decedent, the Probate Division unit and docket number, the date of the license or order, and the book and page where the certified copy is recorded, so the deed and its authority read together in the town land records. The license and the certified copy are court documents, obtained and recorded separately and not included in this package.
One executor, one signature, a representative acknowledgment
The form recites exactly one signing fiduciary who holds the office of executor. The operative section states the capacity in words, acting solely as executor of the estate and not individually, and the single signature line is matched by a notary certificate in the representative-capacity short form of 26 V.S.A. § 5368(2), printing the statute's own labeled blanks for the signer's name, the type of authority, and the estate on whose behalf the deed is executed. A sole executor selling a decedent's house to pay debts and administration expenses, and an executor exercising a will's power of sale under a court-issued license, present the pattern this deed recites. An estate with two co-executors presents a two-signer pattern with a second certificate, and an intestate administration carries the administrator title rather than the executor title; the form is not set up as either of those.
Covenants scaled to the fiduciary office
An executor sells what the estate holds, so this deed does not promise what a general warranty deed promises. Its covenant is limited to the fiduciary's own position: that the executor holds the license or order identified in the deed and has not personally encumbered the property. The deed states that it carries no other covenant or warranty of title, and the purchaser takes subject to easements, restrictions, and other matters of record. Vermont has no general statutory deed form with implied covenants, so the form spells its covenant out in express words, alongside the statutory validity language of 14 V.S.A. § 1652.
Recording with the town clerk, not a county recorder
Vermont records deeds by town or city, and this executor's deed goes to the clerk of the municipality where the land lies, at the statewide fee of 15 dollars per page under 32 V.S.A. § 1671. The Vermont Property Transfer Tax Return, Form PTT-172, filed separately with the clerk and not included in this package, travels with the deed: under 32 V.S.A. § 9608 the clerk cannot record a transfer deed without a complete return and the required Act 250 certificate. The guide walks through the return, the current transfer tax and clean water surcharge rates, and the survey citation rule for descriptions that reference a recorded plat.
The download contains the blank executor deed as a fillable PDF, a completed example showing every entry for a realistic Washington County estate sale, and a plain language guide that covers each numbered section, the representative-capacity acknowledgment, and the recording steps. The materials are informational and are not legal advice.

I appreciated the fact that all the forms I needed were available, and even some I don't need right now but will need in the future (homestead exemption) were also available. And the price is very good. Thank you
Your kind words have brightened our teams day! Thank you for the positive feedback.

I got exactly what I paid for. No fraudulent transaction on my card. I like that. This is an excellent service. Straight and to the point help. That e-recording process looks like a winner. When I get my forms filled out I might use that.
We appreciate your business and value your feedback. Thank you. Have a wonderful day!

The experience was generally very satisfactory. I was able to fill out the Trust Deed and send it via email no problem. However, I was not able to send the filled out form of the Note. It always erased my fill-ins when it was sent. I found that very frustrating.
Thank you, Gordon. Glad the Trust Deed worked well. Issues like the one you reported with the Note can sometimes be related to how the file is opened or sent. Using Adobe Reader to fill, save, and send the form is recommended. We also pass along all feedback like this to our team to confirm there are no issues.

This is a very useful site for downloading legal forms - just be sure you're getting the form you need before buying. Unfortunately I selected the wrong form initially and had to buy a 2nd form to correct my error. I saw no way of communicating my error at that point - i.e., loss of one star.
Thank you for your feedback. We really appreciate it. Have a great day!

Deeds.com was easy to use and their easement deed was exactly what I was looking for. I knew I didn't need to spend hundreds of dollars talking to an attorney.

I found all the forms I needed to complete a Quit Claim Deed on Deeds.com. All the forms are available for download to fill in on my laptop computer. So far the experience has been very good. My only issue would be that the Quit Claim instructions could be more thorough and easier to understand. I am guessing that the State of New Jersey made up the instructions? Unfortunately this has cost me a huge amount of extra time to parse out EXACTLY the terms I need to write on the Quit Claim Deed form. I haven't started the Tax Forms, but hope they will be more straightforward. In general, I DO recommend Deeds.com!
Thanks for the recommendation, Sharon. We appreciate you flagging the New Jersey instructions, and we'll review them with an eye toward making things clearer and more straightforward. Feedback like yours is how we keep improving.
