Recording your Vermont POA
Vermont gives a deed made by virtue of a power of attorney no effect unless the power of attorney is signed, acknowledged and recorded in the office where the deed is required to be recorded (27 V.S.A. §305(a)). That rule does not limit the enforceability of a power of attorney executed in another state in compliance with that state's law (§305(b)).
The recording office is the Town Clerk's office of the town where the property lies. See 27 V.S.A. §305 (POA-specific real-estate recording rule); 27 V.S.A. §341 and §342 (general deed acknowledgment and recording).
