Questions answered? Let's get started!

A Vermont partnership that holds real estate in the partnership name conveys that real estate by an instrument executed in the partnership name by a partner. This Vermont gift deed is built around that grantor: a general partnership or limited partnership giving real property to a named grantee, for no monetary consideration, with one partner signing for the entity. The grantor section identifies the partnership by name, form, state of organization, and principal office address, and the signature page carries a single partner signature line, a title line, and a representative acknowledgment certificate.

A deed signed in the partnership name

Under 11 V.S.A. § 3222, partnership property held in the name of the partnership may be transferred by an instrument of transfer executed by a partner in the partnership name, and § 3221 makes each partner an agent of the partnership for its business. The operative section of this deed recites that record title stands in the partnership name and that the undersigned partner executes the deed in that name; where the grantor is a limited partnership organized under 11 V.S.A. chapter 23, the signer is a general partner. Vermont also supplies a recordable authority device: a statement of partnership authority filed with the Secretary of State under § 3223, a certified copy of which may be recorded in the town land records where the property lies. That statement is filed and recorded separately and is not included in this package; the guide describes how it works and what it does for a donee who, unlike a purchaser, gives no value.

A gift on the deed, fair market value on the tax return

The deed states the donative character of the transfer in its operative words: the partnership, as a gift and for no monetary consideration, gives, grants, conveys, and confirms the property to the grantee, to have and to hold forever. Because Vermont has no statute implying covenants of title from a bare operative word, the deed also says expressly what it does not do: it conveys the title the partnership holds without covenant or warranty of title, so the grantee takes subject to matters of record. A deed of gift still meets the Vermont property transfer tax at the recording counter. For a gift, or a transfer for nominal or no consideration, 32 V.S.A. § 9601(6) defines the taxable value as the fair market value of the property, and the ordinary combined rate is 1.47 percent, including the clean water surcharge; year-round habitable residential property that will not be the transferee's principal residence can carry a combined 3.62 percent. The exemption list in § 9603 includes transfers to a partnership at formation and transfers from a partnership to its partners in a complete dissolution, each with federal tax conditions, and the guide walks through where an outright gift to a family member or other grantee stands in that list.

Recording with the town clerk

Vermont records deeds town by town rather than county by county, so this deed goes to the clerk of the town or city where the land lies. The signing partner acknowledges the deed before a notary public under 27 V.S.A. § 341(a); no witnesses are required, and until the deed is acknowledged and recorded it is not effectual to hold the estate against anyone but the grantor and the grantor's heirs under § 342. The town clerk records the deed only when a completed Vermont Property Transfer Tax Return, Form PTT-172, with its required certificate accompanies it, and the statutory fees are fifteen dollars per page plus fifteen dollars for the return. The form carries a survey reference section keyed to 27 V.S.A. § 341(b), which conditions recording of a deed that refers to a post-1988 survey or creates a new boundary on the survey accompanying the deed or a volume and page citation to its prior recording.

The download prepares the complete document set: the gift deed as a fillable PDF, a completed example showing the deed filled in for a Vermont limited partnership fact pattern, and a plain language guide that walks through every section, the partner's signature and acknowledgment, and the transfer tax filing. The materials are informational and are not legal advice.

I was very impressed. I needed a Grant Deed that would comply with Calif. law. I haven't tried to record it yet, but I think it's spot-on. References to statutes very helpful. I'm a retired Idaho attorney, and my first attempt was politely rejected by the recorder. (documentary transfer fee exemption, etc.)

Ordered two separate forms for two separate states at two differnt times and couldn't be happier with my purchase. When compared to the cost of having two different attorneys prepare the forms I needed, the value of deeds.com couldn't be beat!
