Questions answered? Let's get started!
The grantor on this Vermont deed is a company, and the hand that signs it belongs to someone else. This is a Vermont grant deed built for an entity grantor: a limited liability company, corporation, partnership, or other organization deeds Vermont real estate under the express, limited covenants a grant deed states on its face, acting through one authorized representative whose signature and representative-capacity notary certificate complete the instrument.
The Company Signs Through an Authorized Hand
The architecture runs entity first, person second. Section 1 identifies the grantor by legal name, type of organization, and state of formation; Section 2 names the individual authorized to sign and the office that individual holds; and the signature block pairs the entity's name with a By line for the representative's signature, printed name, and title. The notary certificate then follows Vermont's statutory short form for a representative capacity, in which the record is acknowledged by the named individual as the stated type of authority of the named entity, with lines for the notary's printed name and commission number on a paper record. A Vermont limited liability company selling a house it renovated, an out-of-state corporation deeding its Vermont branch property, a partnership conveying land to a retiring partner, and a nonprofit passing a parcel to another organization present the pattern this deed recites. The form is not set up as a conveyance by individual owners, by a married couple, or by a trustee; each of those carries a different grantor section and signing architecture.
No Spouse to Join, One Question to Answer
An entity grantor changes what the deed carries. Vermont's homestead joinder statute, 27 V.S.A. section 141, follows a married owner; a company is not married and holds no homestead, so this form carries no spousal joinder block at all. What stands in its place is the authority question: whether the person signing holds the office the deed names. The deed states that capacity in Section 2, the acknowledgment carries the signer's declaration of representative authority under Vermont's notarial statutes, and the authority itself lives in the operating agreement, bylaws, resolution, or partnership records that a closing assembles alongside the deed.
Two Covenants, Measured by the Company's Tenure
Vermont statutes read no covenants into a deed, so the grant deed's promises appear in its text. The entity covenants that it has conveyed the estate to no one else before this deed, and that no encumbrance of its own making burdens the property beyond the matters listed in the exceptions section; a limiting sentence then holds both covenants to acts of the entity and to claims arising by, through, or under it. For a company that took title on a known date, that boundary reads cleanly in the chain: the covenant window is the entity's period of ownership and nothing earlier. Buyers searching Vermont land records for a limited covenant deed or a special warranty style conveyance find this instrument in the space between a full warranty deed and a bare quitclaim.
The Town Clerk's Counter
Vermont deeds record municipally: the clerk of the town or city where the land lies takes the deed at a statewide fee of $15.00 per page, and under 27 V.S.A. section 342 an unrecorded conveyance holds the estate against no one beyond the grantor itself. A completed Property Transfer Tax Return, Form PTT-172, belongs to the same visit; 32 V.S.A. section 9608 keeps the clerk from receiving the deed for recording without it, and the tax, a combined 1.47 percent on an ordinary transfer, falls to the transferee and goes to the Vermont Department of Taxes. A legal description drawn from a recorded plat cites the map book and page where the plat is recorded, the citation 27 V.S.A. section 341(b) contemplates.
The download supplies the entity grantor deed as a fillable PDF opening with a removable instructions page; a completed example carried through a St. Albans, Franklin County sale by a Vermont limited liability company, from the entity block to the representative-capacity certificate; and a plain language guide to each numbered section, the co-ownership forms open to grantees, the notarization of a representative's signature, and the recording and transfer tax filing. These materials explain Vermont law generally and are not legal advice.

Can I use this for easement in gross ? Like to grant cousins easement to use river front property with riparian rights ?
Sorry, we are unable to give advice on specific legal situations.

The process for obtaining document itself was easy, and the included guide and example are great! I do have an issue with the format itself, though. The form has pre-defined text boxes, which cannot be altered without partially rebuilding the entire document. For the 'property description' field on the Mineral Deed form, the text box is not large enough for the rather lengthy legal description entered on my original plat. Fortunately, I have a copy of Adobe Pro, so I have been able to re-build the doc to accommodate this short-coming.
Thank you for taking the time to provide feedback on our legal form. We're pleased to hear that you found the process for obtaining the document and the included guide beneficial.
We understand and appreciate your concern regarding the formatting and size limitations of certain fields, especially the 'property description' field. Our forms are designed to adhere to specific formatting requirements that are often mandated for legal compliance. Making direct alterations to the document can result in them becoming non-conforming, which is why we advise customers to use an exhibit page when their legal description is extensive or does not fit.

I am excited for your service. I'm counting on this working-and calling to see if I can e-file with the County of dealing with, and if so, your service will have saved me more years of stress, worrying about how to correct a deed that was titled incorrectly.
Thank you!

I found the process of downloading and completing the documents very user friendly. Thank you for the Declare Value instructions. It was easy to follow, though a sample of the declaration form would be very useful. I didn't know how to list my "capacity" so I left it blank so the recorder could advise me. Otherwise, thank you so much for being available for people who are capable of completing simple legal tasks without the expense of a lawyer. Thank you, thank you, thank you!!!
Your appreciative words mean the world to us. Thank you.

I thought the instructions could have been a little better. I didn't know how to do this if the spouses are married but living in separate residences. Also I didn't understand the "Prior Instrument Reference". That should be explained better. Very sketchy instructions.
Thank you for your feedback. We really appreciate it. Have a great day!
