Hi Toni,
I agree with Linda Spence. We have always
been told to record anything that is presented to us. It is the person who is
filling out the PTR that is responsible. It they don’t send a PTR with
the deed, then it is refused. I don’t want to be in the middle waiting
for the PTR to come back to me in able to record the document. The lawyers get
the big bucks for preparing it, and they are the ones responsible. If the Town
Clerk doesn’t fill out the part on the bottom of the PTR that we are
required to do, then that is our responsibility.

Subject: Signatures on PTTR's
Many
PTTR's are being submitted to the Tax Dept. without both sellers and buyers
signatures.
I
would like to remind all town clerks that when a PTTR is filed, signatures by
each of the parties or their legal representatives are required. 32 V.S.A 9606
(b).
To
avoid any confusion in the future, I ask that town clerks please double check
PTTR's when they are submitted to their office. If they do not contain the
required signatures, please send them back to the preparer to be filled out
properly.
I
appreciate your time and cooperation in this matter.
Thank
You
Toni
