A Vermont quit claim deed is a form that records the transference of property from a grantor to a grantee. This is an informal manner of transfer in which it is assumed, but not verified by this form, that a grantor has a legal right to relinquish a claim, interest, or title to the property being discussed. The purpose of this deed is to simply record certain facts of an exchange. Typically, such arrangements are acceptable when a reasonable level of familiarity exists between the grantor and grantee (i.e. married, family, etc.). This document will need to be submitted to the Vermont County Clerk that is local to the property being conveyed. It should be mentioned that while this form will satisfy the basic guidelines, individual counties may have their own requirements and will have varying fees.
