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.

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.

First time using Deeds.com and feel that your platform is clear and easy to use. I was also pleased with the messaging center and follow-up and also surprised at how quickly our particular deed was recorded and available to view. Having said that, when I first investigated Deeds.com the fee was $15 and as of 1/1/21 it has increased to $19 which I feel is pretty steep for the handling of 1 simple document especially when the turnaround was basically the same day. Your fee was nearly the equivalent of the cost of the Clerk's recording fee. Perhaps you should offer a fee schedule for those of us who are not volume recorders. Just a thought.
Thank you!

The form I needed was correct and paginated as required. It was accepted w/o penalties. I was not happy about the information which I found way too scant. One sample form does not cover enough possibilities, more would be helpful. The instruction page is a bit better but sometimes it is not clear enough - sometimes it is not clear what the numbered items in the form correspond to. There is no guidance about the process and it would take very little to provide it. Example about "description", say where to find. There is a bunch of "free forms" attached but no guide on which are needed and when. Example: at the counter I was given a paper "conveyance" form and asked to fill it - I did not know it was needed and what it did and so I had not d
