Questions answered? Let's get started!
This Vermont memorandum of lease is arranged around one signature that stands in for another: an attorney-in-fact signs the recorded notice for an individual lessor under a recorded power of attorney, while the lessee signs personally. The package prepares the short notice that 27 V.S.A. § 341(c) permits a landlord and tenant to record in place of the lease itself whenever the term runs longer than one year from the making of the lease.
A recorded notice instead of the whole lease
Under 27 V.S.A. § 342, a lease for more than one year is not effectual to hold the estate against anyone beyond the lessor and the lessor's heirs unless it is acknowledged and recorded. Section 341(c) supplies the quieter path: the lease need not be recorded at length if a notice or memorandum of lease, executed and acknowledged as the statute provides, is recorded in the land records of the town where the property is situated. The rent and the other private economics stay in the unrecorded lease; the record carries the nine items the statute lists, and this form collects each one in a numbered section: the parties as named in the lease and their lease-stated addresses, the date of execution, the term, rights to extend or renew, the property description, purchase rights and rights of first refusal, restrictions on assignment, and the location of an original lease. Section 11 of the form then gives notice of the lease in operative prose and provides that the lease controls between the parties if the two documents ever diverge.
One signature line held by an agent
The form recites exactly one individual lessor, acting through one attorney-in-fact, plus the lessee. Section 2 identifies the agent and the power of attorney by date and by its recording reference in the town land records, because 27 V.S.A. § 305 has the power of attorney signed, acknowledged, and recorded in the same office where the supported instrument is recorded. The signature block presents the agency in the disclosure style of 14 V.S.A. § 4051, the principal's name by the agent's signature, and the agent's acknowledgment certificate is the representative-capacity short form of 26 V.S.A. § 5368(2), printed with the statute's own labeled blanks: the individual signing, the type of authority, and the party on whose behalf the record was executed. Under the Vermont Uniform Power of Attorney Act, general authority over real property includes authority to lease, per 14 V.S.A. § 4034, and the statutory real estate power of attorney form in § 4052 confers those powers. A lessor who has placed real estate matters in an agent's hands, and a long lease signed while the owner is away or unavailable, present the pattern this memorandum recites; an entity lessor signing through an officer, or a lessor signing personally, presents a different signature architecture than this form carries.
Recording with the town clerk, and the 50-year tax line
Vermont records land instruments by town and city, not by county, so the memorandum goes to the municipal clerk where the property lies, at the statewide fee of $15.00 per page under 32 V.S.A. § 1671(a). Most memoranda record without a transfer tax filing, and the statute draws the line by duration and rights: under 32 V.S.A. § 9601(3), a perpetual leasehold, a fixed term of 50 years or more, a shorter term whose renewal rights could reach 50 years, or a shorter term paired with a purchase right and construction rights counts as a transfer of title to property, and 32 V.S.A. § 9608 then requires the completed Property Transfer Tax Return before the clerk records. The guide walks through that analysis, the town-based recording system, and each numbered section of the form.
The package contains the fillable memorandum of lease form, a completed example showing a six-year Vermont farm lease recorded through an attorney-in-fact, and a plain-language guide to completing, signing, and recording the notice of lease. The materials are informational and are not legal advice; a Vermont attorney can apply these statutes to a particular lease or power of attorney.

Outstanding forms and service. Liked that the main deed forms were PDF so I could fill them out on my laptop, in my own time, instead of some online Q/A auto populate system. Guide was helpful, as was the completed sample. Used the erecording service to file the deed, amazing.

Shirley S. 3 out of 5 stars
Laborious process to gain access; need to indicate PRIINT when complete and inform that if page is backspaced, entered info disappears, necessitating starting all over again. There is only one “A” provision, when some documents have several more. Space is too limited in some instances to provide what is necessary for recording. Thank you
Your feedback is valuable to us and helps us improve. Thank you for sharing your thoughts!

Deed.com had some hard to find mineral interest deeds for Oklahoma.I'm an attorney in Texas with no Ok experience. The examples on Deed.com were very useful and saved me lots of time. James G.

Robert D. 5 out of 5 stars
I was trying to register a financial statement (non real estate document). There was no link or statement on the home page to indicate that this could be done. All I had to do was to create an account, name and then upload the document. It took me over a day and several phone calls to the local deed recording office to try to figure this out. A simple link or statement to this effect would have saved me a lot of time
Thank you for your feedback. We really appreciate it. Have a great day!
