Questions answered? Let's get started!
Almost nothing on this deed is settled before the parties fill it in. The grantor entry takes one name or two, the grantee entry takes one name or two, and the words fixing how the grantees hold what they receive get typed into a blank rather than printed on the page. This is the Vermont quitclaim deed in its base configuration, natural persons on both sides signing for their own interests, an instrument searchers also spell quit claim deed or quick claim deed.
A deed Vermont never wrote a form for
Vermont authorizes the instrument, then leaves its wording alone. 27 V.S.A. section 301 lets an owner convey by deed; section 341 adds the signature and the notarial acknowledgment. What chapter 5 does not contain is a quitclaim form, or any statute reading covenants of title into an ordinary deed; the one statutory deed form in Vermont law belongs to the enhanced life estate deed at 27 V.S.A. section 660. Express words carry everything, so the operative section states that the grantors remise, release, and forever quitclaim whatever right, title, and interest they hold at delivery, without covenant or warranty of title.
One or two names on each side
The form preprints no party count, no marital status, and no vesting language. A four-line grantor entry accepts one or two individuals with any status recital they write, a matching grantee entry accepts one or two names with any designation Vermont recognizes, and nine numbered sections carry the consideration, the property, the source of title, and matters of record into the operative conveyance. Four count patterns fit one printed page: one grantor to one grantee, one to two, two to one, and two to two. Execution keeps that open shape, a block headed GRANTOR, a second headed SECOND GRANTOR (if applicable), and a certificate under each, so two owners can sign a week apart in different counties while a sole owner leaves the second pair blank. The form is not set up for a signer in a representative capacity, for an agent under a power of attorney, for three or more owners on a side, or for a second block belonging to a spouse joining only to release homestead rights.
The words that decide survivorship
Under 27 V.S.A. section 2, a conveyance to two or more people creates an estate in common unless the instrument says the grantees take jointly, as joint tenants, in joint tenancy, or to them and the survivors of them; conveyances to spouses and to trusts sit outside that default. The section carries a line worth reading twice: Vermont joint tenants may hold equal or unequal interests, and at a joint tenant's death the interest passes to the survivors in proportion to their respective interests rather than in equal parts.
A certificate that can go stampless
27 V.S.A. section 341(a) ends with a line that surprises signers from other states: a Vermont deed acknowledgment is valid without an official stamp affixed to the notary's signature. Certificate content fills the space a stamp would occupy, since 26 V.S.A. section 5367 makes the notary's printed name and commission number part of a tangible certificate, and the short form at section 5368 supplies the operative sentence, that this record was acknowledged before the officer on a stated date by the named individual. Both certificates carry those lines.
What the clerk needs besides the deed
Vermont keeps land records town by town, so the finished instrument goes to the clerk of the municipality where the parcel lies, at fifteen dollars a page under 32 V.S.A. section 1671. It does not travel alone: section 9608 of Title 32 stops a clerk from recording a deed evidencing a transfer until a completed Property Transfer Tax Return, Form PTT-172, and the required Act 250 certificate are in hand, and the return is filed even where a section 9603 exemption leaves nothing to pay. The general rate reaches 1.25 percent of value plus the 0.22 percent clean water surcharge, and the transferee owes it.
What the download contains
The package holds the quitclaim deed as a fillable PDF opening on a non-recorded instructions page, a completed example for a South Hero, Grand Isle County conveyance in which two owners release a surveyed lot to two grantees taking with survivorship, and a plain language guide covering each numbered section, the ways a Vermont grantee may hold title, the homestead statutes, notarization, and recording. The materials describe Vermont law in general terms and are not legal advice.

WOW, This site saved me from going to a lawyer. Not only do they give you great directions, they also include a sample that is extremely helpful.
We appreciate your business and value your feedback. Thank you. Have a wonderful day!

Had a difficult time finding my download after purchase. Thankfully I had printed the form and had. However it was read only and I'm not experienced enough to be able to change that. So I went into my word program and typed in the form. I should be able to use it for my purpose. Just glad I was finally able to find it after hours of searching online. I'm in my 70's and not real computer intelligent which may have been part of the problem
Sorry to hear of your struggle Margaret, we will try harder to make our forms easier for everyone.

I found this site a must. It provided all the forms I needed to file a Quit Claim Deed. I filed what use to be called a Quick Claim Deed 30 years ago. You only had to file the one form. Today it is called a Quit Claim Deed. The pack provided forms that I had no idea had to be filed with the Quit Claim Deed. I would not have known this otherwise if the option hadn't presented itself. Thank you!
Thanks for taking the time to leave your feedback Debra, we really appreciate it.

why not word format??
Good question. There are many reasons, we'll touch on a few. For the end user (you) Adobe Reader is free, Word is not. PDF is the portable document standard, Word is a decent word processor. A portable document format (PDF) maintains document formatting such as margins and font size which is very important to legal documents, Word does not. Have a wonderful day.

Tom D. 5 out of 5 stars
I have one suggestion and couple of question I would think that most TOD's would be from married couples. It would be real helpful to have a example of the I(we) block for married couples. Why would I check or not check the "property is registered (torrents)" Do I need a notarized signature of the Grantee
Thank you for your feedback. We really appreciate it. Have a great day!

Very easy to work with. A lot less money than a lawyer.
Thank you for your kind words and for choosing us.
Don M. 5 out of 5 stars
The process was easy going. The process is one thing, the results another. I have attempting to resolve this matter, of claiming sole ownership of the property for several YEARS. I lost my Bride of 65 years in 2015. A lawyer I hired failed in his attempt, so I'm waiting to see the actual results. I also have two parcels in New Mexico under the same situation, so if this is successful, I'll gladly be back. Thank You so very much. Don Martin
We appreciate your business and value your feedback. Thank you. Have a wonderful day!

It was a seamless process, inexpensive, and probably saved me thousands by having an attorney draw this same form us. Highly recommend!
Thank you!

I purchased the Notice of Completion form because the City of Chula Vista did not have a "fillable" version of this form on their website. The Deeds.com version of this form is somewhat different than the City's version (8 numbered paragraphs vs. 11 numbered paragraphs.) However, it contains the same information in a different format. This form provided more blank space to fill in important items- like a long ownership name- than the version on the City's website. The recorder's office was satisfied with this form as I hand-delivered it to the Recorder's Office and they approved it for recording. Overall, I found this form easy to use and found the extra blank space for writing on the form helpful. My one comment for possible improvement is: it would be even more helpful (particularly for attorney users) to have strike-out capability. I would have liked having the ability to strike-out inapplicable portions of long awkward sentences. Still, I would use this form again.
Your feedback means a lot to us. Thank you.
