Questions answered? Let's get started!
One record owner signs this Vermont warranty deed, acknowledges it on a single notary certificate, and conveys with the full common law title covenants; a second, conditional signature block waits below for the one signer Vermont law sometimes adds, a spouse joining a homestead conveyance under 27 V.S.A. Section 141. The form prepares a general warranty deed for one individual grantor conveying Vermont real property to the grantee or grantees named in it.
Covenants stated in full, because Vermont implies none
Vermont has no statutory warranty deed form and no statute that reads covenants into a deed from a single operative word, so a Vermont warranty deed makes its promises out loud. This form carries the customary covenant chain in express text: the grantor is the sole owner of the property, has good right and title to convey it, the property is free from every encumbrance except as stated in the deed, and the grantor will warrant and defend it against all lawful claims and demands. Those covenants reach the whole history of the title, not just the grantor's period of ownership, which is what separates a warranty deed from the limited and no-covenant instruments Vermont practice also uses. The encumbrances section does real work here: every recorded easement, restriction, or surviving lien listed there sits outside the warranty, so that entry draws the exact boundary of what the grantor stands behind.
One grantor signs, and sometimes a spouse joins
The form recites exactly one grantor: one name in the grantor section, one signature line, one acknowledgment certificate worded to Vermont's statutory short form. A sole owner selling a house, a single person conveying inherited land, and an unmarried owner deeding a parcel to family present the single-grantor pattern this deed recites; deeds from two co-owners, from spouses conveying together, or from a trustee follow different recital and signature patterns and are not what this form is set up as. Vermont adds one conditional signer. Under 27 V.S.A. Section 141, a married owner's conveyance of the homestead is inoperative as to the homestead unless the spouse joins in the execution and acknowledgment, so the deed carries a labeled joinder section with its own signature line and notary certificate; where the grantor is unmarried or the property is outside the homestead rules, that section stays blank. On the receiving side, the grantee entry accepts any form of ownership Vermont recognizes, from a single grantee through tenants in common, joint tenants, spouses as tenants by the entirety, or a trustee, and the guide describes the words 27 V.S.A. Section 2 gives effect to for each.
Recorded with a town clerk, with the tax return alongside
Vermont records deeds town by town, not county by county: the deed goes to the clerk of the town or city where the land lies, and under 27 V.S.A. Section 342 an unrecorded deed holds the property only against the grantor and the grantor's heirs. The deed does not travel alone. A completed Vermont Property Transfer Tax Return, Form PTT-172, accompanies it, and 32 V.S.A. Section 9608 bars the clerk from recording without that return and the required Act 250 certificate. The general transfer tax rate is 1.25 percent of value plus the 0.22 percent clean water surcharge, with a reduced bracket for a principal residence, and the recording fee is fifteen dollars per page statewide. The form reserves space at the top of the first page for the clerk's recording information and keeps every entry inside Vermont's recordable page dimensions.
What arrives in the download
The package contains the blank warranty deed as a fillable PDF, a completed example showing every section filled in for a realistic Chittenden County fact pattern, and a plain language guide that walks through each numbered section, the signing and notarization rules, the vesting choices open to grantees, and the recording and transfer tax process. The materials are informational and are not legal advice.

I tried to do it myself by copying an old deed and ended up with a bunch of headaches (expensive ones) wish I would have used these documents first. Live and learn.
Thank you!

I found all the forms I needed to complete a Quit Claim Deed on Deeds.com. All the forms are available for download to fill in on my laptop computer. So far the experience has been very good. My only issue would be that the Quit Claim instructions could be more thorough and easier to understand. I am guessing that the State of New Jersey made up the instructions? Unfortunately this has cost me a huge amount of extra time to parse out EXACTLY the terms I need to write on the Quit Claim Deed form. I haven't started the Tax Forms, but hope they will be more straightforward. In general, I DO recommend Deeds.com!
Thanks for the recommendation, Sharon. We appreciate you flagging the New Jersey instructions, and we'll review them with an eye toward making things clearer and more straightforward. Feedback like yours is how we keep improving.

Fair price and beneficiary deed was recorded without issue. Completion instructions provided were insufficient in some cases.
Thank you!

I thought this form was great and easy to complete but the instructions were unclear as to whether the grantee- beneficiaries needed to sign and notarize their signatures as well. It did not appear to be the case but it would be helpful if the instructions spelled this out better.
Thank you for your feedback. We really appreciate it. Have a great day!

I really like this site and it's actually recommended by many County Recorders. I especially like that there's not join up/monthly fee. It's easy to use and the customer support is outstanding. They're very helpful and patient.

So far so good. Looks nice but a more condensed version, when the recorder charges by the page, should be offered.
