Questions answered? Let's get started!
The subject of this deed is another deed. A numbered section identifies a conveyance already recorded in a Vermont town's land records by instrument title, date, and book and page; the next section states the error that slipped into it and the information that corrects it; and the operative text confirms everything else the recorded deed did. This is a Vermont quitclaim deed in its corrective configuration, the instrument searchers reach as a correction deed, corrective deed, or confirmatory deed, and under the quit claim and quick claim spellings.
Two deeds on the record, read as one
A recorded deed does not come off the record; the correction goes on beside it. The grantor of the prior deed signs again, the form states the error and the corrected information, and the operative section remises, releases, and forever quitclaims whatever right, title, and interest the grantor holds while confirming and ratifying the prior deed except as corrected. No Vermont statute implies covenants into a quitclaim, so the instrument promises nothing about the title; it repairs the paperwork, not the bargain. An examiner running the chain finds both instruments in the same municipal index and reads them together as one conveyance.
What a correction deed can reach in Vermont
No Vermont statute prescribes a correction procedure for recorded deeds; the boundary comes from Vermont Title Standard 4.1. A grantor who conveyed by an effective, unambiguous deed cannot, by a later deed, substantially change the grantee's name, shrink the premises or the estate, add a condition, or otherwise diminish the prior grant, and a deed that tries does not impair the title the prior deed established. The corrections that live comfortably inside the standard are the clerical ones: a transposed lot number, a misspelled or incomplete name, a wrong book and page in the derivation clause, a dropped plan reference. For a material change, the standard's comment describes a conveyance back from the grantee before the grantor deeds again; this form recites the standard's limits in its operative section, so the record shows the deed staying inside them.
One grantor, signing a second time
The form recites exactly one grantor, the grantor named in the prior deed. Twelve numbered sections run from the parties through the prior-deed identification, the error and its correction, consideration, and the corrected legal description to the conveyance-and-confirmation section, followed by one grantor signature block and one acknowledgment certificate in Vermont's statutory short form wording. A conditional homestead joinder under 27 V.S.A. section 141 waits ahead of the signature blocks with its own spouse entry, signature line, and second certificate, used only when the property is the homestead of a married grantor. A lot number transposed in the description, a grantee's name recorded with a missing initial, and a derivation clause citing the wrong book and page present the pattern this deed recites. The form is not set up as a first conveyance of the property, as an instrument diminishing what the prior deed granted, or as a correction of a deed signed in a representative capacity; each of those follows a different architecture.
Exemption 04, and a return filed at zero tax
The finished correction records in the same clerk's office that holds the deed it corrects, Vermont keeping land records by municipality, at the statewide $15 per page. The transfer tax paperwork travels with it even though a correction ordinarily owes nothing: 32 V.S.A. section 9608 bars the clerk from recording a deed evidencing a transfer until a completed Property Transfer Tax Return, Form PTT-172, and its Act 250 certificate are in hand, and 32 V.S.A. section 9603(4) exempts transfers that, without additional consideration, confirm or correct a transfer previously recorded, claimed by its number on the return. Where a purported correction moves additional value, the exemption's condition fails and the ordinary rate of 1.25 percent plus the 0.22 percent clean water surcharge reaches it.
What the download contains
The corrective quitclaim deed arrives as a fillable PDF whose first page is a non-recorded instructions sheet, alongside a completed example prepared on a Brattleboro, Windham County record in which a grantor corrects a transposed lot number in a deed to her son, and a plain language guide that treats the twelve numbered sections, the ways a grantee may hold Vermont title, the title-standard limits, notarization, and the path through the transfer tax return to the clerk's counter. The materials describe Vermont law in general terms and are not legal advice.

I thought the instructions could have been a little better. I didn't know how to do this if the spouses are married but living in separate residences. Also I didn't understand the "Prior Instrument Reference". That should be explained better. Very sketchy instructions.
Thank you for your feedback. We really appreciate it. Have a great day!

This product makes it so much easier to understand and file forms that you might have to pay an attorney to do. All Counties have their own way of submitting forms and with Deeds you have the correct format.

Easy to use website and immediate documents appropriate for my area. My only complaint is that the forms had an alignment problem where the fields that were filled in by me did not line up with the template text. I tried to correct it to no avail so I ended up having to retype the entire document. I purchased two templates and both had the same issue.
We appreciate your business and value your feedback. Thank you. Have a wonderful day!

Fast, efficient, and helpful. I don't often have documents that need recording but I found Deeds.com incredibly handy. It cost me no more and probably less than if I'd gone in to do it myself. It was especially helpful during this Covid-19 stay-at-home time. It all happened within a couple of hours and I had my recorded copies in my hands.
Thank you for your feedback. We really appreciate it. Have a great day!

Great service! Super easy to use! I used the service to download a deed notice to do a TOD on a property in Fairfax County, VA. Just a heads up that Fairfax County required me to add the last deed book and page # onto the deed notice but otherwise all was just as they required!
Thank you!

Quick and easy to use. I was able to download the Transfer on Death Deed form to my computer so that I can read through and fill them out at a later time. That made it convenient and "no pressure". The complimentary guide and completed example that came with the form was also very helpful.

After some initial general confusion -- (we sold a small piece of land privately and therefore do not typically prepare such documentation (!)) -- we were able to purchase and download all forms from Deeds.com and understand how to complete it/them. The help is all there, we just needed to read and study it - the "Example" helped alot. We were able to complete the Document per your online form(s) and then take it to be signed/notarized - and take the completed paper document to the Registry -- and it is now all registered and we are All Set. Took the morning (only). THANK YOU. A wonderful tool!!
