Questions answered? Let's get started!
On this Vermont memorandum of lease, one signature line belongs to a person who is not a party to the lease at all: the lessor's spouse. The form prepares the recordable notice of a lease that 27 V.S.A. 341(c) describes, configured for a married lessor who holds record title in the lessor's sole name, and it carries a joinder block in which the non-owner spouse joins in the execution and acknowledgment of the memorandum and in the lease it describes.
Why a spouse with no record title signs
Vermont's homestead statute, 27 V.S.A. 141, provides that a homestead or an interest in a homestead is not conveyed by a married owner, outside the purchase-money mortgage exception, unless the owner's spouse joins in the execution and acknowledgment of the conveyance; a conveyance made without that joinder is inoperative as to the homestead. A companion rule, 27 V.S.A. 349(a)(2), reaches conveyances of an interest in homestead or tenancy-by-the-entirety property to anyone other than the owner's spouse. A lease is a grant of an interest in land, and where the leased premises include or overlap the homestead, a barn, an accessory building, an apartment, or acreage on the home parcel, the joinder block places the spouse's signature and acknowledgment in the record alongside the lessor's. The block states its own limits on the face of the form: the joining spouse acquires no leasehold interest and assumes no obligation under the lease.
What section 341(c) puts in the land records
Vermont law does not call for the lease itself to go on record. 27 V.S.A. 341(c) describes a notice or memorandum of lease containing the names of the parties, any addresses set forth in the lease, the date of execution, the term, a description of the leased property, rights of extension or renewal, rights of purchase or first refusal, restrictions on assignment, and the location of an original lease, executed and acknowledged by the parties to the lease. The numbered sections of this memorandum of lease form track that list item by item, and the operative section gives notice of the lease and of the leasehold interest while stating that the lease itself controls between the parties. Recording matters because of 27 V.S.A. 342: a lease for more than one year is not effectual to hold the leased estate against any person but the grantor and the grantor's heirs unless acknowledged and recorded. The recorded memorandum, sometimes searched for as a notice of lease or short form lease, protects the leasehold against later purchasers and encumbrancers while the rent and the other business terms stay private in the unrecorded lease agreement.
Recording in the town, not the county
Vermont records land documents with the clerk of the town or city where the property lies; there is no county recording system, so the memorandum names the municipality whose clerk receives it. The statewide recording fee is $15.00 per page under 32 V.S.A. 1671(a), and the form's printed-name lines under each signature serve the name-under-signature practice of 32 V.S.A. 1405. The lessor, the joining spouse, and the lessee each sign before a notary public, and the form carries an acknowledgment certificate for each signer, so the three can acknowledge on different dates, before different notaries, in different states. A memorandum of lease enters Vermont's property transfer tax definitions only when the leasehold it evidences amounts to title to property under 32 V.S.A. 9601(3), a perpetual leasehold or the 50-year and purchase-plus-construction thresholds; the guide walks through those thresholds and the 32 V.S.A. 9608 recording bar that travels with them.
A three-signature architecture
The form recites one lessor, one joining spouse, and one lessee, with twelve numbered sections that collect the 341(c) items, an operative notice section, and the joinder paragraph. It is not set up as a two-lessor instrument: spouses who both hold record title present a co-lessor pattern in which both sign as lessors, and a lessor entity presents no spousal joinder question at all. The configuration here is the sole-title married lessor, the pattern in which the joinder block earns its place in the record.
The download prepares this memorandum as a fillable PDF, together with a completed example showing the form filled in for a Lamoille County fact pattern and a plain-language guide that walks through every numbered section, the three acknowledgments, and the town recording steps. The materials describe Vermont law in general terms and are not legal advice.

Great service! The example completed form and instructions provided by Deeds.com were extremely helpful for properly filling out the blank form they provided. After completing my form and getting it notarized, I e-filed it to my county clerk's office and it was approved right away with no issues. The entire process was well worth the price and I'm very happy with the results.
Thanks, Thomas. First-try acceptance is the goal every time, and we're glad yours went that way. We appreciate your business.

Deeds.com had much better and fuller information than any other help i found (90% complete vs 60 % complete); they tout how up-to-date they are on all the counties in the country and the idiosyncrasies of each county's forms and procedures; but some minor points of the info i needed were missing or confusing. Including that they sold me on e-Recording my deed through them, only to find out after i had done all the prep for that, that they had failed to tell me upfront (or i missed it somehow) that the county i was dealing with did not yet accept online recording. So, they were by far the best i found, but not 100%.
Thank you for your honest and thorough feedback Trace. We will review your concerns carefully in an effort to improve our services. Hope you have an amazing day.

This was the first time I had ever had to fill out a Warranty Deed, so if it was not for your example form on how to fill one out, I would be still be here completely lost. I had originally gone to another site for a Warranty Deed & they wanted double the amount of your price & their website had no examples forms. I am so happy with your site & service. Thank you for giving us the opportunity to be able to download the forms as much as we need to because as many mistakes I made,I had to print quite a few to be able to get it done right.
We appreciate your business and value your feedback. Thank you. Have a wonderful day!
