The second signature on this deed conveys nothing, and without it the deed could quietly fail as to the family home. This Vermont quitclaim deed is drawn for a married grantor who holds record title alone, with the grantor's non-owner spouse joining in the execution and acknowledgment of the conveyance; searchers reach this configuration of the quit claim deed, or quick claim deed, while looking for the version with the spousal consent built in.
Why Vermont asks for a signature from someone who is not on the title
Under 27 V.S.A. section 141, a homestead or an interest in one shall not be conveyed by a married owner, outside a purchase money mortgage given at purchase, unless the owner's spouse joins in the execution and acknowledgment of the conveyance, and a conveyance made without that joinder is inoperative as far as the homestead reaches. A companion statute, 27 V.S.A. section 349, keeps homestead property and tenancy by the entirety interests from passing to a nonspouse without the spouse joining. Neither statute cares whose name the vesting deed carries: title taken before the marriage, or received by gift or inheritance in one name alone, still sits under the joinder rule once the property serves as the couple's home. The sole-signed deed from a grantor the record later shows to have been married is a recurring Vermont title defect, and it tends to surface years afterward, in someone else's closing.
One owner of record, two names before the notary
The form recites exactly one grantor, and directly after the grantor a numbered section identifies the joining spouse, reciting the marriage and stating that the person named holds no record ownership. The operative section carries the grantor's release alone: the grantor remises, releases, and forever quitclaims whatever right, title, and interest the grantor holds at delivery, if any, with no covenant or warranty of title, Vermont having no statutory quitclaim form and no statute implying covenants into an ordinary deed. The joinder section then does the statutory work, reciting that the spouse joins in the execution and acknowledgment under sections 141 and 349 and releases all homestead rights without becoming a grantor of any recorded interest. Two signature blocks and two acknowledgment certificates in the statutory short form wording follow, and every one of them is completed at every signing; nothing on this form waits in reserve. A grantor who took title in one name before the wedding and now deeds the home place to an adult child presents the pattern this deed recites; so does a sole-titled owner whose conveyance a title examiner would question the moment the record reveals the marriage. The form is not set up as a deed for two record owners, and it does not describe an unmarried grantor; each of those patterns carries a different signing architecture.
Two certificates, one trip to the clerk
Section 141 requires the spouse to join in the acknowledgment as well as the execution, so the joining spouse's notarized certificate is not a courtesy. The form carries a separate certificate for each signer, in the wording of Vermont's statutory short form, and the two acknowledgments can happen together or on different days before different notaries. The finished deed records with the clerk of the town or city where the land lies, Vermont keeping no county deed records, at $15 per page, and 32 V.S.A. section 1405 lets the recording official require each signer's name typed or printed under the signature, a $2 add-on the form's printed name lines head off. One completed Property Transfer Tax Return, Form PTT-172, accompanies the deed, since 32 V.S.A. section 9608 stops a clerk from recording a transfer document without the completed return and the required Act 250 certificate; the guide reaches the return, the current rates, and the family-transfer exemptions at the step where each arises.

Process is easy but system would not accept 3 different credit cards on first day. No phone number to call. Sent message and response was all 3 cards must have been declined. However, next day one of those cards went through with no problem.
Thank you for your feedback. Unfortunately we have no control over which payment get approved or declined.

The process was efficient, from initiation to follow up took two days. This was a step in the right direction that was without delay or frustration occurring with other steps in filing.
We appreciate your review and your business. Thank you.

I'm typing along and suddenly I can't fit anything more into the page and there's plenty of room. This is my 2nd time using this site. No problem the first time years ago. Now it's an issue, looks like I'll need a typewriter to finish the form. Where do I find a typewriter?!! I can't complete the legal description!
Thanks for your feedback Nora. If you are unable to find a typewriter you can always do as the guide suggests and use the included exhibit page.

Your website advertising was somewhat deceptive regarding doing a quitclaim on a name change. "If you are transferring the property to yourself under your new name, all you have to do is update the deed from your former name to your current one." This made this sound easy. But when I downloaded the material for my state, expecting to find an example, there was no example of how to do a name change quitclaim deed! I therefore had to figure this out myself. You might have provided a warning about certain uses that were not covered in the material so that people know ahead of time that the use they needed to know about wasn't covered in the material.
Thank you for your feedback. We really appreciate it. Have a great day!

I needed a Missouri Notice of Intent to Sell without a named designated buyer. Mo Statutes require notice be notarized and filed 45 days before any closing to protect buyer from liens. You do not have that document. We are flipping a house so it must be filed. Our lawyer was on vacation. Cannot find one anywhere on net. Finally got a template from our title company.
Thank you for your feedback Gloria.

This is an excellent resource. I was surprised because the price is so low I thought the products might be inferior. Not only were were the requested documents high quality, additional unrequested documents were added to my order that I didn't realize I would need until I read them. I especially appreciate that all the documents were specific to my county. I highly recommend using deeds.com.
