Questions answered? Let's get started!
When the seller of a Vermont property cannot be at the closing table, the closing can still happen: Vermont law lets the seller appoint an agent, in a recorded power of attorney, to sign the deed and the closing papers in the seller's place. This fillable form is that instrument, a Vermont power of attorney for a real estate transaction built on the statutory short form in 14 V.S.A. § 4052 and completed for the sale of one described property by the principal as seller.
A statutory short form, not a general grant
The Vermont Uniform Power of Attorney Act, 14 V.S.A. chapter 127, adopted in 2023, publishes two fill-in forms: a general statutory form and a short form written for real estate transactions. A document substantially in the § 4052 short form confers the real property powers of 14 V.S.A. § 4034(2), (3), and (4), the statutory catalog that includes selling, conveying with or without covenants, releasing, and satisfying mortgages, together with the incidental powers of § 4033. The grant printed in this form follows the statutory wording and then names its transaction plainly: the sale of the described property by the principal as seller, including signing the deed of conveyance, signing the Vermont Property Transfer Tax Return, and receiving the sale proceeds on the principal's behalf.
The statutory design keeps the authority transaction-bound. The power commences when fully executed and continues until the real estate transaction for which it was given is complete, in the words the statute supplies. It is durable by default under 14 V.S.A. § 4004, so a principal's later incapacity does not strand a pending sale, and it ends at the principal's death, on revocation, and when the closing is done.
The seller configuration
The form recites exactly one principal, the record owner selling the property; one agent, sometimes called an attorney-in-fact; and an optional successor agent who acts when the first agent is unable or unwilling. Only the principal signs, before a notary public, and the form carries a single acknowledgment certificate in the wording the statutory form prescribes. An out-of-state owner selling a Vermont house, a seller traveling during the closing period, and an adult child handling a parent's sale present the pattern this instrument recites. Where two owners sell together, each owner grants a separate power of attorney, since each signature on the deed traces to its own recorded authority, and a married seller's homestead joinder rules stay on the deed itself, where 27 V.S.A. § 141 puts them.
Two statutory options ride the form, each dormant until the principal initials it: a delegation provision, and a provision permitting the agent to take title to the property. Left blank, the form grants neither, and the background rule of 14 V.S.A. § 4031(b) separately limits self-benefiting acts by agents outside the principal's immediate family.
Recorded where the deed records
Vermont records land instruments town by town, and 27 V.S.A. § 305 makes recording of the power of attorney part of the conveyance itself: the instrument is signed, acknowledged before a notary, and recorded in the same town or city land records that receive the deed. The statewide fee is $15.00 per page under 32 V.S.A. § 1671. The power of attorney transfers no title, so no Property Transfer Tax Return accompanies it; that return belongs to the deed the agent later signs. This limited power of attorney, often searched for as a real estate power of attorney or a POA to sell property, therefore does double duty: private authority for the closing, and a public land-record link in the chain of title.
The download package contains three pieces: the fillable power of attorney form, a completed example showing a plausible Windsor County sale, and a plain-language guide that walks through each section of the form, the signing formalities, and the town recording step. The materials describe Vermont law in general terms and are not legal advice; a Vermont attorney can apply these rules to a particular sale.
Important: Your property must be located in Essex County to use these forms. Documents should be recorded at the county recording office listed above.

Thank you for the prompt instructions on the download and installation. The only problem I had was trying to input data into the form once I renamed the form.and saved it. I was unable to change the size of the font and was very frustrated. In the end I finally had to redo the entire form through Word using your format.
Thank you!

Very easy to use. Time will tell if I have any issues getting it recorded. Beats using an attorney who won't return calls and emails like I used before. I like the form plus instructions and an example of the completed form.
Thank you for your feedback. We really appreciate it. Have a great day!

Lindsey W. 3 out of 5 stars
The service was great but after I did all my work and uploaded the documents they canceled my stuff because the county they had on the list doesnt take/or have set up e-recording yet. It was a bit disappointing because thats the only reason I was on here is because it brought me here from that countys sight.
Thank you for your feedback, sorry we were not able to provide the service for you. Hope you have a great day.

This was fantastic. I downloaded the document, filled it out, printed it, had it notarized and drove to the recorders office and had it recorded within less than 15 minutes. Instructions are precise and easy to understand. You saved me hundreds of dollars a lawyer would have charged for the same work.
We appreciate your business and value your feedback. Thank you. Have a wonderful day!

The forms were immediately available for download, which was nice. However, I was not impressed by the lack of several features: 1) there was no way to edit set text in the form, such as where it says you should consult an attorney. That is not necessary for recording the deed and I wanted to deleted it, but could not. 2) Also, under the "Notes" section, there is a limited area to write; I tried adding a fuller explanation of something, but the form would not accept or include it when I printed the final document. The form may do the job, but it's not very sophisticated or elegant.
Thank you for your feedback. We really appreciate it. Have a great day!

I found the path from the home page to actually ordering the document I wanted extremely convoluted and non-intuitive. I went around in circles several times before I figured out how to actually buy the document.
Thank you for your feedback. We really appreciate it. Have a great day!
