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.

The purchasing process was very slick and my credit card was charged IMMEDIATELY. The deliver went well as the link was provided immediately. However I asked a question via the "Contact Us" link and days later I get a survey but no reply. I may have been directed to the wrong forms via my County and I wanted to confirm that...but still no answer. What would that deserve as a rating???
Also, your history on our site shows no messages sent via our contact us page.

Ordered the quitclaim forms. Amazing value! Received everything I needed and then some. The forms were easy to use and understand with the help of the guide. The best part was that once completed I used deeds.com's e-recording service to submit the document for recording (our county offices are still closed). Outstanding!
Thank you for the kinds words Robert, glad we could help.

I like the service, it is hard to see enough of the document to know you're choosing what you need.
Thank you for your feedback. Our previews are intended to show general format and layout. Because these are legal forms, customers should already know the type of document they need before purchasing.
