Questions answered? Let's get started!

The owner named as grantor in this Vermont deed never picks up the pen. This is a Vermont grant deed drawn for execution by an attorney-in-fact: one individual grantor conveys Vermont real property under a grant deed's two express, limited covenants of title, and the signature that completes the instrument belongs to the agent the owner appointed in a power of attorney.

One Grantor, One Agent, and the Instrument Between Them

The deed keeps the principal and the agent in separate frames. Section 1 identifies the record owner whose title moves and whose covenants the deed gives; Section 2 identifies the attorney-in-fact who signs, then anchors the agency to the record with the date of the power of attorney and its recording reference in the municipal land records. The signature block reads grantor, by attorney-in-fact, and the certificate beneath it takes the acknowledgment in a representative capacity, naming the signer as attorney-in-fact for the named owner. An owner who has moved out of state while the Vermont property sells, a principal who signed a durable power against later incapacity, and a seller whose closing date arrives while the seller is unavailable present the pattern this deed recites. The form is not set up as a deed the owner signs personally, as a conveyance by co-owner pairs, or as an instrument executed for a company or a trust; each of those carries a different signing architecture. A joinder block for a married grantor's spouse or civil union partner waits at the end for homestead property and stays empty in every other case.

The Statute That Reaches the Power Itself

Vermont ties this execution pattern to the land records with unusual force. Under 27 V.S.A. section 305, a deed made by virtue of a power of attorney is of no effect, and is not admissible in evidence, unless the power is signed, acknowledged, and recorded in the office where the deed is required to be recorded; the same section preserves a power executed in another state in compliance with that state's law. The deed restates that rule on its face, and its power-of-attorney section is drafted for either posture, citing the volume and page of a power already of record or identifying a power presented to the clerk for recording with the deed. The power itself is governed by the Vermont Uniform Power of Attorney Act, 14 V.S.A. chapter 127, in effect since July 2023, whose statutory forms carry authority over real property among their subjects.

Covenants Given Through an Appointed Hand

Vermont implies no covenants of title, so this deed writes its two promises out and hands the pen, not the promises, to the agent. The grantor covenants that the estate conveyed here went to no other person first, and that nothing the grantor made or suffered encumbers the property beyond what the deed's exceptions section discloses; a limiting sentence holds both covenants to the grantor's acts and to claims tracing by, through, or under the grantor. The agent's signature carries the owner's covenants without adding the agent to them. Searchers comparing a limited covenant deed or a special warranty style conveyance with a full warranty deed or a quitclaim find this instrument holding the familiar middle ground.

Two Instruments at the Clerk's Window

Recording is municipal in Vermont, and this configuration often records in pairs: the deed at $15.00 per page with the town or city clerk, and the power of attorney in the same office when it is not already of record, since 27 V.S.A. section 305 points both instruments to the same books. The completed Property Transfer Tax Return travels with them under 32 V.S.A. section 9608, the ordinary combined rate standing at 1.47 percent and falling to the transferee.

The download carries the deed as a fillable PDF that opens with a removable instructions page; a completed example worked through a Rutland, Rutland County sale, signed by the owner's agent under a recorded power, from the principal's name block to the commission number line; and a plain language guide to each numbered section, the vesting forms open to grantees, the representative-capacity notarization, and the recording and transfer tax steps. These materials describe Vermont law in general terms and are not legal advice.

My first submission was super quick and easy. I had trouble with the second submission, as I was not aware of what the county would require, but the team at Deeds.com walked me through every step of the process. Will definitely use again and refer business partners to Deeds.com!

I purchased the La St. Tammany Parish Quit Claim Deed as a gift for a friend. Currently waiting on a lawyer to draft his second version of what a La Quit Claim should look like. I have downloaded this St. Tammany La packet for simplicity and double protection for my friend. So far, I really like what I see from Deeds.com, short and to the point. It's truly a breath of fresh air. Thank you so much. Layperson Cathy for a friend.

Very straightforward. Only issue was it took a few times for the mineral deed form to show up. The first few times it instead showed a mineral rights transfer between operators.

Very good information. Easy access and easy to download. All the forms needed for TOD to be notarized and recorded with the county office. Much better than working with a Trust and the expense of lawyers, especially when several parties are involved and the owner of said property knows exactly to whom the property should go. Having forms and instructions available for the public to have their wishes recorded and confirmed makes handling final planning much easier and prevents family members from having the unnecessary task of going through court to solve property distribution issues. Thank you for this site and the forms you provide. I will recommend Deeds.com to those I know who are making final plans.

The process was fast and efficient. I did get a bit confused after entering info for my package but soon realized I had completed this part of the process and only needed to leave the page and wait for review of the document and then the invoice. It was pretty simple. After payment of the invoice I was notified that the document had been submitted. A few hours later I received notice that the document was recorded by the city. It was fast!

I liked getting the forms but I was charged twice for some reason. I'm not sure what happened with that. Can you reimburse me? Thank you. Lanette

Reply from Staff

Thank you for your feedback Lanette. In review, it looks like your first payment was declined, second one was approved and processed. What you are seeing is one payment and a hold placed by your financial institution for the declined attempt. We are not sure why they do this but the hold usually falls off after a few day depending on their policy. If you have further questions about this you can contact your financial institution and they will explain. Have a great day.

I was introduced to Deeds.com from my title company. I wanted the title company to do a courtesy recording for me and they suggested Deeds.com. Best suggestion in a while. The interface to use the website was seemlessly easy. The communication with the service staff was thorough and prompt. After the initial verification process (which the photo app was a little tricky), everything was easy. Will use them again.
