Questions answered? Let's get started!
A corporation giving away Vermont real estate signs its deed through one authorized officer, and this form is built around that signature: a gift deed with a corporate grantor section, a By line for the signing officer, and a notary certificate completed in a representative capacity. The deed conveys the property as a gift, for no monetary consideration, under Vermont's general conveyance statutes, 27 V.S.A. Sections 301, 341, and 342, and it is also the document searched for as a corporate deed of gift.
One Officer Signature, One Representative Acknowledgment
The grantor section recites the corporation's registered name, its entity type and state of incorporation, and its principal office, and labeled lines identify the authorized officer by name and title. The signature section carries the corporation's name, a By line for the officer's signature, and printed name, title, and date lines, which also answer the Vermont statute that permits a recording official to require typed or printed names under signatures (32 V.S.A. Section 1405). The acknowledgment follows the representative capacity pattern of Vermont's statutory short form certificates: the notary certifies that the officer acknowledged the record as an officer of the named corporation, on its behalf, and the certificate block carries the commission number and expiration lines Vermont certificates use. Corporate power for the conveyance comes from 11A V.S.A. Section 3.02, which grants every Vermont business corporation, unless its articles say otherwise, the power to convey its property and to make donations for public welfare, charitable, scientific, or educational purposes.
A Gift That Still Files a Transfer Tax Return
Vermont records deeds with the town or city clerk where the land lies, not with a county recorder, and under 32 V.S.A. Section 9608 no clerk records a deed unless a complete Vermont Property Transfer Tax Return with its Act 250 certificate accompanies it. A gift does not escape that filing. Under 32 V.S.A. Section 9601, the value of a gift or a transfer for no consideration is the fair market value of the property, and the general 1.25 percent rate plus the 0.22 percent clean water surcharge reach that value unless an exemption listed in 32 V.S.A. Section 9603 covers the transfer; certain non-principal-residence dwellings carry a higher rate. The return is a Vermont Department of Taxes form (PTT-172), prepared separately and not included in this package. Statewide recording fees run fifteen dollars per page plus fifteen dollars for the return filing, and the guide walks through the return, the rates, and the exemption list so the deed reaches the clerk's counter as a complete recording package.
What the Deed Carries and What It Does Not
The operative section states the gift in plain terms: no monetary consideration passes, and the corporation, acting by its officer, gives, grants, conveys, and confirms the property to the grantee. The deed conveys the corporation's right, title, and interest at delivery and carries no covenant or warranty of title; Vermont implies no covenant package from a deed's operative words, so what a Vermont deed promises is only what it says, and existing easements, restrictions, and liens ride through the conveyance. Once acknowledged and recorded, the deed holds the estate against third persons under 27 V.S.A. Section 342. The form recites exactly one corporate grantor acting by one officer; a conveyance from individual owners, with the homestead and spousal joinder questions that follow natural persons, presents a signature architecture this form does not carry.
Inside the Vermont Package
The package contains the gift deed as a fillable PDF, a completed example showing the same deed filled in for a Milton, Chittenden County fact pattern, and a plain language guide covering each numbered section, the officer's acknowledgment, town clerk recording, and the transfer tax treatment of gifts. The materials are informational and are not legal advice.

Site is easy to navigate and forms are as described. Too bad there is no secure payment link service (PayPal, Apple Pay, etc. So after I verify charge has hit my credit card I will delete my Deeds.com account.

I filled out the forms that were somewhat easy. I was surprised that it was recorded by the county recording office. I just hope that it really worked. I think it did. I will find out later this year.

Joseph K. 5 out of 5 stars
I'm very impressed. We're a small nonprofit, and we usually walk our documents into our county offices for recording. So I was a little bit skeptical about how things would work if we did it electronically. But it was a smooth, quick, painless, and reasonably priced process. I expect that this will be our preferred method even after county offices re-open.
Thank you for your feedback. We really appreciate it. Have a great day!

Could not be happier with the forms received. Everything went smooth from completing them to getting them recorded. No easy feat with our recorder, always seems to be an issue but not this time... Very Happy!
We appreciate your business and value your feedback. Thank you. Have a wonderful day!

Carol K. 1 out of 5 stars
was expecting a one page Grant Deed not what I received.
Hi Carol, thank you for your feedback. A properly prepared California Grant Deed often runs more than one page. California requires specific recording formatting, a documentary transfer tax declaration, room for the full legal description, and the state’s mandatory notary acknowledgment wording, which is typically on its own page. Our form is built to meet those requirements so it is accepted for recording.

Extremely easy to use. The guide and sample were a great source of reference.

I was able to e-record 3 document with ease. The Middlesex registry of deeds is closed due to COVID-19 and this was my only option. Even if it was open, this is much faster and saves me time and money on parking ..etc. Great services.
Thank you!
