Questions answered? Let's get started!
The grantor line of this Vermont deed carries two identities: the trust that holds the title and the trustee who holds the pen. This is a Vermont grant deed configured for a trustee grantor: the trustee of a trust conveys Vermont real property with the express, limited covenants that define a grant deed, signing once, in a representative capacity, above a notary certificate written for exactly that kind of signature.
Title in the Trust, Signature by the Trustee
The form opens where a trustee's deed has to open: Section 1 identifies the trust by its name and the date of its trust instrument, Section 2 names the trustee who signs, and the operative section makes the conveyance and every covenant solely in the trustee capacity, not individually, satisfied from the trust estate. The single signature block carries the trustee's printed name and capacity, and the certificate beneath it tracks the Vermont statutory short form for an acknowledgment in a representative capacity: the record acknowledged by the named individual as trustee of the named trust, with the notary's printed name and commission number lines a paper record calls for. A successor trustee selling the settlor's former home after the settlor's death, a trustee deeding a parcel out of a revocable trust to a buyer, and a trustee distributing real estate to a beneficiary as a trust winds down present the pattern this deed recites. The form carries one trustee signature block; a trust in which two or more trustees act together presents a different signing pattern, and the form is not set up as a conveyance by individual owners, co-owner pairs, spouses, or a company's officers.
Covenants That Begin and End with the Trust's Tenure
Vermont law implies no covenants of title, so the deed writes its two promises out: the estate granted here has gone to no one else before this deed, and no encumbrance of the grantor's own making burdens the property beyond the matters the exceptions section lists. A boundary sentence confines both promises to acts of the grantor and claims arising by, through, or under the grantor. On a trustee's deed that window is the trust's period of ownership, measured from the vesting deed the form identifies, and a further sentence keeps the covenants from reaching the trustee personally: they bind the trustee in the trustee capacity and are answered from the trust estate. Title searchers meet this instrument under the names limited covenant deed and special warranty style conveyance, holding the ground between a full warranty deed and a covenant-free quitclaim.
The Deed Recites Authority; Another Instrument Documents It
A trustee's power to convey lives in the trust instrument, and the deed's capacity language states that relationship rather than settling it. Vermont supplies a recordable answer to the authority question: the certification of trust under 14A V.S.A. section 1013, a sworn statement of the trust's existence and the trustee's identity and powers, which the statute treats as evidence of authority to convey real property and which may be recorded in the municipal land records; it is a separate instrument, prepared and recorded separately, and not included in this package. Title examiners reading a trustee's deed in a Vermont chain commonly look for one alongside it.
A Municipal Record and a Return That May Claim an Exemption
The finished deed records with the town or city clerk where the land lies, Vermont having no county recording system, at the statewide $15.00 per page fee, and under 27 V.S.A. section 342 recording is what makes the conveyance hold against anyone beyond the grantor and the grantor's heirs. A completed Property Transfer Tax Return accompanies the deed under 32 V.S.A. section 9608, with the ordinary combined rate at 1.47 percent, and 32 V.S.A. section 9603 matters to trust conveyances in particular: its exemptions include certain no-consideration trust transfers and transfers involving no change in beneficial ownership, and a claimed exemption is stated on the return, which is filed with the clerk either way.
The download delivers the trustee grantor deed as a fillable PDF opening with a removable instructions page, a completed example carried through a Woodstock, Windsor County sale by the trustee of a family revocable trust, from the trust block to the commission number line, and a plain language guide to each numbered section, the co-ownership forms open to grantees, the representative-capacity notarization, and the recording and transfer tax filing. These materials describe Vermont law in general terms and are not legal advice.

I liked the software, it's very easy to use. Once it's saved as a .pdf document on your computer, the source document is lost when you log out. I wish it could be saved and then edited on their site later instead of having to create a new document from scratch each time.
Thank you for your feedback. We really appreciate it. Have a great day!

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.
