Questions answered? Let's get started!
A mortgage on Vermont land held in trust carries one signature: the trustee's, given in the fiduciary capacity the deed recites on its face. This Vermont Mortgage Deed (Trust) prepares that instrument, a mortgage deed whose mortgagor is the trustee of a trust, conveying trust-held property to a lender as security for a loan under 27 V.S.A. §§ 301, 341, and 342.
One trustee, one certificate
The mortgagor section of the form carries two entries: the trustee, and the trust identified by its full name and the date of the trust instrument. The operative section then does the work that distinguishes a trust mortgage from an ordinary one. It recites that the mortgagor holds record title as trustee and signs in that fiduciary capacity, it points to the trustee's statutory power under 14A V.S.A. § 816(5) to borrow money and mortgage trust property, and it states that the covenants of title bind the trust estate rather than the trustee individually. One signature block and one acknowledgment certificate follow, and the notary's certificate carries the trustee's name with the representative capacity, in the style of Margaret H. Boisvert, as Trustee of the Boisvert Family Revocable Trust.
The form recites exactly one trustee holding record title. Property standing in an individual owner's name, and title held by two or more cotrustees, present different signature architectures from the one this deed recites. The patterns that do present this configuration in Vermont land records include a family revocable trust borrowing against the home or camp the trust holds, a trust that purchased land with seller financing and gave the seller a mortgage back, and a private refinance of trust-held rental or woodland parcels. A lender documenting the trustee's authority can request a certification of trust under 14A V.S.A. § 1013, a sworn summary the statute makes usable as evidence of authority to mortgage; that certification is prepared and recorded separately and is not included in this package.
Security by conveyance, ended by payment
Vermont keeps the traditional mortgage architecture: the mortgage deed conveys the property to the lender as security, subject to the mortgagor's right to redeem, and Vermont title practice treats the granting of a mortgage as a conveyance of legal title on exactly those terms. The form's operative clause gives, grants, bargains, sells, and conveys the property to the mortgagee, and its PROVIDED NEVERTHELESS condition states the other half of the bargain: when the promissory note and any other secured obligations described in the deed are paid and performed in full, the conveyance is void and the mortgage is discharged of record. Discharge has its own statutory machinery in 27 V.S.A. §§ 461 through 464a, including a 30 day duty on the mortgagee of record to deliver a complete discharge after full performance. The promissory note itself is a separate instrument, prepared separately and not included in this package; the deed secures the obligations its sixth section describes by date, principal amount, maker, and maturity.
Recording at the town clerk's counter
Vermont records land instruments town by town. The executed deed, acknowledged before a notary public as 27 V.S.A. § 341(a) provides, goes to the clerk of the town or city where the property lies, at the statewide fee of 15 dollars per page under 32 V.S.A. § 1671. A mortgage deed travels lighter than a transfer deed at that counter: the Department of Taxes places mortgage deeds outside the Property Transfer Tax Return filing category, so the deed records without the PTT-172 return and Act 250 certificate that deeds transferring title carry. Recording is also where the mortgage earns its priority, because under 27 V.S.A. § 342 an unrecorded mortgage deed is not effectual to hold the estate against anyone but the grantor and the grantor's heirs.
The package holds exactly three pieces: the Vermont mortgage deed as a fillable PDF, a completed example showing the form filled in for a trust-held property in Milton, and a plain language guide that walks through every numbered section, the signing formalities, and town recording. The materials describe Vermont law in general terms and are not legal advice.

We aimed to handle a survivorship affidavit (deed change) without a lawyer following my dad's death. After some searching, deeds.com seemed to have the most comprehensive and "correct looking" form we could find for our locale, so we went with it, and it was accepted by our recorder's office. I'm not sure why our local government office doesn't offer a standard form, but they don't, and deeds.com came through for us in a pinch.
We appreciate your business and value your feedback. Thank you. Have a wonderful day!

It wasn't really what I needed I read and read and read and read and I thought I was to do with for filing for probate or probate executor but instead it was for the property if you are executor and but it wasn't very clear on that so it didn't work for me so I was kind of wasted money
Sorry to hear that Norman. We've gone ahead and canceled your order and payment.

As a real estate professional, I've had the opportunity to use various legal form providers over the years, but none have matched the quality and user-friendliness of Deeds.com's real estate legal forms. The forms themselves are comprehensive, up-to-date, and in line with current real estate laws and regulations, which is paramount in our field. The clarity and thoroughness of the documentation ensured that I could complete with confidence, knowing that every detail was covered. I wholeheartedly recommend their services and look forward to continuing our partnership.
Your feedback is greatly appreciated. Thank you for taking the time to share your experience!

the quitclaim form worked well with the Nevada Recorders office. Tried other vendors, theirs were rejected.
We appreciate your business and value your feedback. Thank you. Have a wonderful day!

I purchased this thinking I would be able to complete the QuitClaim Deed myself because an example was provided, but you still need to be a lawyer to figure all the wording out. It was not worth the price I paid for it.
Thank you for your feedback. We really appreciate it. Have a great day!

It was nice to find a form to use for leaving my house without having my kids deal with Probate Court. The price was a lot cheaper than paying for a Lawyer to set up a transfer of ownership.
Thank you for your feedback. We really appreciate it. Have a great day!

I got exactly what I paid for. No fraudulent transaction on my card. I like that. This is an excellent service. Straight and to the point help. That e-recording process looks like a winner. When I get my forms filled out I might use that.
