In the State of Vermont, a quitclaim deed is a document that allows the seller of a property to transfer ownership interest to a buyer in an expeditious fashion. Different from a warranty deed that comes with a guarantee that the title of a property is clear, a quitclaim deed only ensures that a grantor doesn’t claim interest on the property at a later date.
Quitclaim deeds are generally used for the transfer of property between family members or in a divorce settlement. However, regardless of the situation or relationship, a title search should be conducted to ensure that there is a clear title and that it is free of encumbrances.
If you instead want to transfer property in a way that protects the new owner of the property, you should consider a different type of deed, such as a general warranty deed or a special warranty deed. If you are unsure which type of property deed to use, you should seek legal advice.
Vermont quitclaim deed laws are codified at 27 V.S.A. § 342.
Before a quitclaim deed can be filed with the County Clerk’s Office, a Property Transfer Controlling Interest Form PT-172 must be filled out and filed with the Department of Taxes to prove that the property tax has been paid.
Signing - Vermont Law dictates that the grantor must have the quitclaim deed notarized (27 V.S.A. § 301).
Recorded - Once properly filled out and notarized, the quitclaim deed is to be filed at the local County Clerk’s office.
