Vermont Warranty Deed from Husband and Wife to a Trust
What is this form?
A Warranty Deed from Husband and Wife to a Trust is a legal document that allows a married couple (the grantors) to transfer ownership of real property to a trust (the grantee). This deed ensures that the couple warrants the title of the property, providing assurances that it is free from encumbrances unless otherwise noted.

FAQ
It's important to note that a warranty deed does not actually prove the grantor has ownership (a title search is the best way to prove that), but it is a promise by the grantor that they are transferring ownership and if it turns out they don't actually own the property, the grantor will be responsible for compensating
A warranty deed guarantees that: The grantor is the rightful owner of the property and has the legal right to transfer the title.The title would withstand third-party claims to ownership of the property. The grantor will do anything to ensure the grantee's title to the property.
Both a warranty deed and deed of trust are used to transfer the title of a property from one person to another. However, the difference between these two contracts is who is protected. As you now know, a deed of trust protects the beneficiary (lender). A warranty deed, on the other hand, protects the property owner.
Make sure the name of your trust is exactly the same named used in your trust and in your new deed. When using your trust to hold title to any real property in California, you should use the full legal name of your trust.
Open a bank account in the name of the trust. Close out any bank accounts the grantor established for the trust and put the proceeds into the new trust bank account. Cash in any life insurance policies that name the trust as beneficiary and put the proceeds into the trust bank account.
When it comes to reasons why you shouldn't add your new spouse to the Deed, the answer is simple divorce and equitable distribution. If you choose not to put your spouse on the Deed and the two of you divorce, the entire value of the home is not subject to equitable distribution.
A deed conveys ownership; a deed of trust secures a loan.
Obtain a California grant deed from a local office supply store or your county recorder's office. Complete the top line of the deed. Indicate the grantee on the second line. Enter the trustees' names and addresses.
A trustee deed offers no such warranties about the title.
