Questions answered? Let's get started!
A buyer who cannot be in the room at a Vermont closing still has to sign a purchase contract, a promissory note, and a mortgage. This power of attorney form prepares the instrument that solves that problem for one identified Vermont property: the principal, as buyer and borrower, names an agent, and the agent signs the purchase and loan documents in the principal's place. The form follows the statutory short form power of attorney for real estate transactions in 14 V.S.A. Section 4052, part of the Vermont Uniform Power of Attorney Act adopted effective July 1, 2023.
A statutory short form sized to one purchase
Vermont wrote a dedicated short form into its Uniform Power of Attorney Act for exactly this situation: a power of attorney limited to a real estate transaction involving a specific parcel, whether a sale, purchase, mortgage, or gift. A document substantially in that form carries the meaning and effect the statute prescribes, and it confers the real property powers cataloged in 14 V.S.A. Section 4034(2), (3), and (4), reaching conveyances, mortgages given as security for borrowed money, and mortgage releases, together with the incidental powers of Section 4033, which include executing and recording any instrument the agent considers necessary to accomplish the transaction.
Because a buyer's side of a closing turns on acquiring title rather than conveying it, this form uses the room the statute leaves open. Section 4052(a) states that the form may grant other real property powers consistent with Section 4034, and this document adds the Section 4034(1) acquisition powers and express authority to sign, deliver, and perform a promissory note and other loan documents for a loan secured by a mortgage on the property. The result is a grant that covers the whole buyer-borrower sequence: signing the contract documents, accepting the deed, signing the note, and granting the purchase money mortgage.
A power that starts at signing and ends at closing
The statutory duration sentence appears on the face of the form: the power of attorney commences when fully executed and continues until the real estate transaction for which it was given is complete. There is no lingering general authority after the closing. In the other direction, the form states the durability rule of 14 V.S.A. Section 4004, under which a power of attorney is durable unless it expressly provides otherwise, so an illness or accident between signing and the closing date does not cut off the agent's authority mid-transaction.
One principal, one agent, one property
The form recites a single principal, a named agent with an optional successor agent, and one property identified by town or city, county, street address, and legal description. A buyer completing a Vermont purchase from another state, a buyer traveling or deployed on the closing date, and a household in which one person attends the closing for a jointly financed purchase all present the pattern this configuration recites. Where two buyers take title together, the record shows a separate power of attorney executed by each principal. The transaction section recites a purchase with mortgage financing, not a sale of property the principal already owns, and the form carries neither of the statutory form's optional elections for delegation or for conveyances to the agent personally, so a power of attorney prepared on it grants neither authority.
Signed before a notary, recorded with the deed
Execution under current Vermont law is notarization alone: 14 V.S.A. Section 4005 presumes a signature genuine when the principal acknowledges it before a notary, and the former one witness requirement did not carry into the 2023 Act. Recording is where Vermont adds real teeth. Under 27 V.S.A. Section 305(a), a deed or other conveyance made by virtue of a power of attorney has no effect unless the power of attorney is signed, acknowledged, and recorded in the office where the deed is recorded, which in Vermont means the land records of the town or city where the property lies. The form states that requirement on its face, reserves the top of the first page for the clerk's recording stamp, and carries printed name lines under the signature that satisfy 32 V.S.A. Section 1405.
The package delivers the blank power of attorney as a fillable PDF, a completed example showing the entire document filled in for a realistic Chittenden County purchase, and a plain language guide that walks through every numbered section, the notarization rules, and the town recording process. The materials are informational and are not legal advice.

Really good product, included guide to filling out forms. Totally pleased with that part. Customer service however was terrible. Did not hear back after I sent two emails. The site signed me up but after I was accepted they would not allow me to download a form, with the notation my account was closed. Had to use another email. Had problems with that. Finally got off of site and went to a login site that allowed me to download the forms. If you can get past setting up your account, it is fantastic site. Nice price compared to alternatives. Also I recieved two validation codes. Have no idea why they were sent.
Thank you!

I bought a Quitclaim Deed package for Fayette County, Kentucky, to transfer my house into a Living Trust that I had set up previously. Creating my Quitclaim Deed was pretty straightforward, using the form, the instructions, and the sample Quitclaim Deed. I signed my Quitclaim Deed at a nearby Notary Public, then took it to the Fayette County Clerk's office to be recorded. The clerk there asked me to make two small changes to the Quitclaim Deed, which she let me do in pen on the spot: * In the signature block for the receiver of the property, filled in "Capacity" as "Grantee as Trustee ______________________________ Living Trust". * In the notary's section, changed "were acknowledged before me" to "were acknowledged and sworn to before me".
Thank you for your feedback. We really appreciate it. Have a great day!

I am a lawyer and purchased a specialized type of deed for a special scenario. The product received was functional, but not great. Wording is slightly clunky and the form layout was not convenient for making a professional final product. The wording also didn't contemplate a remote-state probate, which is a common scenario. Something about the PDF prevented me from doing cut and paste, so I had to do OCR to get the relevant text for inserting in my existing draft deed. Finally, while the site claims it is customized for the exact state and county, it does not appear to be well-customized for that purpose and I had to use other language (not sourced from the deeds.com document) to meet local norms.
Thank you for your feedback. We really appreciate it. Have a great day!

This was the first time I have ever e-recorded a document. The process was smooth and simple. I loved being informed at each step along the way. I am glad I chose deeds.com and plan to use them in the future for all my electronic recording of legal documents.
Thank you!

I purchased the Affidavit of Surviving Joint Tenant document and found the whole package of documents to be useful and practical. Successfully recorded!!! While the fillable PDF files are good enough, I personally prefer a Word document as it is easier to modify font or spacing.
We appreciate your business and value your feedback. Thank you. Have a wonderful day!

Death of JT form was excellent. You have the best documents out there. I wish I could have read the sample just so I knew my information was entered correctly. Real problem is County wants a bar code on documents to get recorded. Now? Need four deed forms so the expense starts to be prohibitive. I would rather pay more and get multiple access.
Thank you for your feedback. We really appreciate it. Have a great day!
