Questions answered? Let's get started!
A capacity recital follows the grantor's name on this Vermont warranty deed: the person conveying holds the property as trustee, and the deed says so in its opening section, naming the trustee, the trust, and the date of the trust instrument before any granting word appears. The form prepares a Vermont general warranty deed from one trustee grantor, conveying real property out of a trust to the grantee or grantees it names, with the full common law covenants of title behind the transfer.
Authority the land records can read
A buyer taking a deed from a trustee looks for one thing an individual grantor never has to prove: that the signer may convey at all. Vermont answers from two directions, and the deed recites both. The trust instrument confers whatever powers the settlor wrote into it, and the Vermont Trust Code backstops them; 14A V.S.A. Section 816 lets a trustee sell property for cash or on credit, at public or private sale, and, when the trust winds up, distribute what remains to the persons entitled to it. The operative section of this deed states that the conveyance rests on the trust instrument and on those statutory powers, so the recorded instrument carries its own account of where the authority comes from, while the trust agreement itself stays off the record.
One trustee signs, and the capacity follows every clause
The architecture runs fiduciary from top to bottom: one grantor entry identifying trustee, trust, and trust instrument date; one signature line whose printed name carries the word Trustee; and one acknowledgment certificate worded to the representative capacity short form of 26 V.S.A. Section 5368, in which the notary certifies that the record was acknowledged by the named individual as trustee of the named trust. A settlor serving as her own trustee and selling the home her revocable living trust holds, a successor trustee conveying after the settlor's death, and a trustee deeding property free of trust to a beneficiary as administration closes present the patterns this deed recites. The form recites exactly one trustee and one trust; a conveyance by an owner in that owner's own right, by two co-owners of record, or by co-trustees whose instrument requires joint action, and a deed moving property into a trust rather than out of one, each follows a different recital architecture that this form does not carry.
Covenants made in a fiduciary voice
Vermont statutes imply no covenants of title, so this deed states them: lawful seisin in fee simple, good right and title to convey, freedom from every encumbrance except the matters its exceptions section lists, and warranty and defense against the lawful claims and demands of all persons. What distinguishes the trustee version is who stands behind those promises. The deed makes its covenants in the grantor's capacity as trustee and not individually, and it binds the grantor's successors in trust, so the warranty belongs to the office rather than to the person who happens to hold the office on signing day. The exceptions entry defines the limit of the promise; on a trustee's sale it commonly carries the recorded easements and restrictions the title search returns.
Recorded by the town, taxed by the state
The finished deed is a town filing: Vermont clerks record land instruments by town or city at fifteen dollars a page, and 32 V.S.A. Section 9608 stops a clerk from taking a deed unless a completed Property Transfer Tax Return, Form PTT-172, and the required Act 250 certificate come with it, with the tax itself paid to the Vermont Department of Taxes. How the return comes out depends on what the trustee is doing. A sale to an outside buyer pays the ordinary rates, 1.25 percent of value plus the 0.22 percent clean water surcharge, with a reduced bracket where the buyer takes a principal residence. A distribution conveying property free of trust to the settlor's spouse, child, or grandchild without consideration engages an exemption in 32 V.S.A. Section 9603, claimed on the same return, which is completed and filed with the deed either way.
The download contains three pieces: the blank trustee grantor warranty deed as a fillable PDF, a completed example showing a trustee selling a Lamoille County home held in a revocable living trust, and a plain language guide covering each numbered section, the representative capacity acknowledgment, the grantee vesting options Vermont recognizes, and the recording and transfer tax steps. The materials are informational and are not legal advice.

Greg S. 5 out of 5 stars
The Beneficiary Deed is easy to fill out, expecially with the examples/explanations provided. The only recommendation I would make is to state that the Parcel ID and the Assessor's ID are one in the same. I looked everywhere for something that mentions "Assessor's ID" in my paperwork to no avail. Upon calling the Maricopa Assessor's number in Maricopa I was told that they are the same.
Thank you for your feedback. We really appreciate it. Have a great day!

This is quick, easy, and very reasonably priced. I wish I found this site before doing my living trust. I had the company who does my trust do the transfer deed and they charged an additional $329 for the deed alone.
Thank you for your feedback. We really appreciate it. Have a great day!

The forms worked well for entering information. I have finished without much trouble. Since the forms are Adobe PDF files you need the free app to use them but you can't edit unless you have the paid Adobe program. And, it was a reasonable price.
Thank you for your feedback. We really appreciate it. Have a great day!

Highly Pleased- Strongly Recommend Deeds.com Long review... sorry:-) Originally I was very skeptical due to the enormous amount of the scams going on now days and the number of online sources that "claim" to provide you with deed forms for free or for a few. Nothing that you need and want done is free. There is always a cost. So luckily I came across deeds.com. This was the only site that appeared to be simple, to the point, and made no crazy promises. So before selecting this site, I did a little more checking around/price checking to ensure I am getting the best price for the product I needed. I even checked Staples and Amazon to find that they do indeed sell these forms but I do not think the products they provide are specific for my state and county. They claim their forms provided are for all states but my state is specific and I prefer to have forms provided by Deeds.com that is based on Indiana statute that Deed.com clearly identifies on each form. Deeds.com price of $20 seemed a little high at first but when I saw the products provided, the $20 cost is more than reasonable and fair. You not only get the deed form specific for my state and my specific "county" but also the other various/supplemental forms that may be required. Being familiar with my state and knowing how tedious and anal my state is on everything, I was pleasantly please to see the info and extra supplemental forms provided. For example, a person new to the State who recently had property deeded to them, would not necessarily know about the Homestead tax exemption provided if property is your primary residents, over 65 exemption etc. I would highly recommend this site for anyone needing these documents because Deeds.com has you covered on any and all forms/info you could ever need! A bonus is that there is one flat fee and not monthly cost that you have to worry about canceling later unless you superficially select a monthly package. I love the fact that Deeds.com is nothing fancy. There is not a bunch of elaborate graphics etc. They only provide what you need and what they provide is very accurate. Deeds.com has a customer for life.
Thank you so much Alexis. We appreciate you, have a fantastic day.

Review: Forms are on point, to the point, and cover the vast majority of situations. Would not suggest if your deal is overly complicated but most situations are not complicated at all.
Thank you!
Debbi B. 4 out of 5 stars
The deeds were a very reasonable price. However, it was made to seem like it was part of Jefferson County, and I didn't love the deceptiveness.
Debbi, we understand that you came away with the impression that Deeds.com was part of Jefferson County, but we respectfully disagree with the characterization of our website as deceptive. Deeds.com is an independent document provider and does not represent itself as affiliated with Jefferson County or any other government agency. Jefferson County is identified because customers need forms and recording information appropriate for the correct jurisdiction. If a particular page or statement caused confusion, please contact Deeds.com Customer Care so we can review it.
