What brokers and loan officers should know about closings and property rules in Vermont, and how Hancock Processing works your files there.
Vermont is an attorney state. Vermont closings are customarily conducted by attorneys, or by paralegals working under an attorney's supervision, and the Vermont Supreme Court treats preparing legal documents such as deeds, and giving legal advice for others, as the practice of law.
No. Vermont is not a community property state, and Vermont abolished dower and curtesy in 2009. Vermont's homestead law does protect a spouse, though: a married owner can't convey or mortgage a homestead unless the other spouse joins in signing and acknowledging it, except for a mortgage given for the purchase price at the time of purchase.
