FAQs

Vermont real estate transfers commonly use warranty deeds, quitclaim deeds, and life estate deeds. The right choice depends on what the grantor can guarantee about the title and the goals of both parties.

A written lease is strongly advisable for any tenancy in Vermont. It documents the agreed rent, duration, and rules for both landlord and tenant, and gives both parties a clear reference if a dispute arises.

Real property — also called real estate or immovable property — includes land, buildings, and fixtures permanently attached to the land. Personal property covers movable items that are not part of the land or structure.

Notarization is commonly required for deeds and other documents that will be recorded with a Vermont town clerk. Other real estate forms, such as leases, may require only signatures, though requirements can vary by document type.

The deed form itself — warranty, quitclaim, or otherwise — generally works for both residential and commercial real property. What changes is the legal description and any terms specific to commercial conveyancing, so review the form carefully for your property type.
