Questions answered? Let's get started!
Two signature lines on the seller side are the defining feature of this Vermont purchase and sale agreement: it is set up for a married couple selling Vermont real property, with both spouses named as sellers, both joining the contract, and both committed to joining the deed at closing. One buyer is named. The agreement carries the price and deposit terms, the formal legal description, the flood disclosure Vermont places at the contract stage, and the closing terms that end with a deed recorded in the town land records.
Why Both Spouses Sign
Vermont treats a conveyance to two married people as creating a tenancy by the entirety unless the deed says otherwise, and the Vermont Supreme Court has held that neither spouse in that estate owns a separable share that can be disposed of without the other's joinder. Statute reinforces the point twice over: 27 V.S.A. Section 141 makes a married owner's conveyance of homestead property inoperative as to the homestead unless the spouse joins in the execution and acknowledgment, and 27 V.S.A. Section 349(a)(2) bars conveying an entireties or homestead interest to anyone but the owner's spouse without spousal joinder. This agreement is built around those rules. Section 1 names both spouses as sellers and states that they are married to each other, Section 9 carries both spouses' commitment to join in the deed, and Section 17 provides a full signature block for each spouse and for the buyer.
A Written Contract the Statute of Frauds Enforces
A Vermont land sale contract is enforceable by action only as a signed writing. Under 12 V.S.A. Section 181(5), a contract for the sale of lands, or of an interest in or concerning them, calls for a written agreement or memorandum signed by the party to be charged, and an agent signing for a principal holds written authorization. The agreement is a contract, so no notary appears at this stage; it also carries a counterparts sentence, and the parties may sign separate copies that together form one agreement. Notarization arrives later, when the deed is acknowledged for recording.
Vermont Disclosures Built Into the Contract
Vermont's flood disclosure statute, 27 V.S.A. Section 380, operates before or as part of the contract for conveyance, so this form carries it in the body of the agreement. Three labeled entries record the FEMA flood insurance rate map provided to the buyer or a notice that no map is available, any flooding or flood-related damage while the sellers possessed the property, and whether the sellers maintain or are required to maintain flood insurance. The statute lets a buyer who never received the disclosure terminate before transfer of title or occupancy, and it supports a damages action where a seller knowingly withheld it.
The agreement also states the conditional obligations that attach by property type: Department of Health water-supply materials within 72 hours after execution where the property has a potable water supply outside a public system, lead hazard materials before execution for pre-1978 target housing, the class 4 highway and legal trail disclosure of 27 V.S.A. Section 617, and the smoke and carbon monoxide alarm certification delivered at closing for a single-family dwelling under 9 V.S.A. Section 2883. Vermont has no statute requiring a general property-condition report, so these targeted statutory items are the disclosure spine of a Vermont contract.
From Contract to Deed, Transfer Tax, and Withholding
Vermont records land instruments town by town, and what reaches the town clerk after closing is the deed, not the contract. The agreement sets that stage: the sellers commit to deliver the stated deed type, executed and acknowledged by both spouses, conveying marketable title free of every encumbrance except the matters listed. The printed terms allocate the Vermont property transfer tax and clean water surcharge to the buyer as transferee, the allocation 32 V.S.A. Section 9602 makes, and the town clerk cannot record the deed until the completed Property Transfer Tax Return accompanies it. A separate withholding term tracks 32 V.S.A. Section 5847: where any seller is a nonresident of Vermont at closing, the buyer withholds two and one-half percent of the consideration for the Department of Taxes unless a certificate reduces or eliminates it.
The package contains the purchase and sale agreement as a fillable PDF, a completed example showing every section filled in for a Waterbury, Vermont sale by a married couple, and a plain-language guide that walks through all seventeen sections and the statutes behind them. The materials are informational and are not legal advice.

Forms are fine, but the inability to download a completed form is not. Nor is the ability to convert to another format. Everytime I went to download, the form erased. I didn't have a printer available, so everything I did was to waste.
Thank you for your feedback Duncan. The blank forms should be downloaded first and then completed on your computer.

Thanks for the complete and reasonably priced set of docs. I was specifically looking for and glad to find a current version of a TOD deed following the California extension.
Thank you for your feedback. We really appreciate it. Have a great day!

I wasn't sure what I was looking for initially so I printed out the wrong thing. Had to pay again to get the right one but much less expensive than getting it from a lawyer. Our military lawyers will make the forms official but they don't have the forms. Hope this makes things easier for our children when we pass. Thank you for offering this service.
Thank you for taking the time to leave your feedback. We have canceled and refunded the payment for your first order. We don't want you to pay for something you're not going to use. Have an amazing day.

Since the recorder's office is closed, due to Covid, this worked well to submit my Quit Claim Deed. I was a bit confused with the direction and download. But, I think I got her done! We'll see if I get recorded and confirmation is received. I may be back
Thank you for your feedback. We really appreciate it. Have a great day!

I wanted to do an Enhancement Life Quitclaim deed and the county government lady didn’t know what I was even talking about. I ordered the deed from Deeds.com and filled it all in,submitted to the county clerk who took 10 minutes to study it before she accepted the deed. This was the easiest transaction I’ve ever made! I actually felt smarter than the clerk who worked at the count office over 20 years.
Thank you, Linda! We’re glad the process went smoothly and that our forms helped you complete your recording with confidence. We appreciate you taking the time to share your experience!

Found this sight on the internet looking for information to add my fiance' to the house deed. Looks like the right place to be. Looking forward to getting the forms I need.
Thank you!

This was a seamless process. It probably took one minute to fill out my information and upload the document. It was formatted and sent immediately. It was processed the next day at the county recorders office. I have zero complaints. Before finding this company I spent an entire day calling and leaving messages at other e-filing companies like simplfile and others but they all required subscriptions. I just needed to file a single document now and then so that was not a good fit. (And those companies I found out still require the customer to do all the work!). Deeds.com kept me informed throughout the process every step. I'm happy to write this review. Thank you
Thank you for your feedback. We really appreciate it. Have a great day!
