Etowah County Quitclaim Deed (LLC Grantor) Form

The grantor on this deed cannot hold a pen. The Alabama Quitclaim Deed (LLC Grantor) is drafted for a limited liability company that releases Alabama real property to one grantee, so it must say who signs for the company and what that person's authority rests on. Section 8 collects both, and the certificate at the end is worded for an officer rather than for a person signing in his or her own right.

Title stands in the company, not in its members

The Alabama Limited Liability Company Law of 2014 describes the ownership this release acts on. Ala. Code Section 10A-5A-1.04(a) provides that a limited liability company is a separate legal entity, and Ala. Code Section 10A-5A-4.02 provides that a member has no interest in any specific property of a limited liability company. The parcel stands in the company's name, and no member holds a sliver of it to pass along. Both provisions are printed in the operative section. Section 1 takes the company's full name, including the designation Ala. Code Section 10A-1-5.06 requires, its mailing address, and its state of organization.

The signature question Alabama law actually asks

Ala. Code Section 10A-5A-3.02 provides that no person has the power to bind a limited liability company except as authorized to act as its agent under or pursuant to the limited liability company agreement, under three further sections of the same chapter, or by law outside it. Section 8 is built around that sentence and asks three things: the individual's name, that person's title or capacity, such as manager, managing member, or sole member, and the source of the authority relied on, such as a numbered section of the company agreement or a dated written consent. Those governing documents stay with the company.

A certificate written for an officer

Ala. Code Section 35-4-29 prints what it calls substantially the forms of acknowledgment used in Alabama on recorded conveyances, and alongside the individual wording it prints an entity form: the officer certifies that the person whose name as the stated officer of the entity is signed to the conveyance, being informed of the contents, executed it as such officer and with full authority for and as the act of the entity. The certificate here closes with that substance. Ala. Code Section 35-4-25, on acknowledgments of conveyances to or by a corporation, was amended by Act 2024-314 and Act 2025-365 to name limited liability companies too.

The blanks an entity grantor leaves behind

Two entries that dominate an individual Alabama deed drop out here. Ala. Code Section 35-4-73 keeps a conveyance out of the record unless it recites the marital status of each individual grantor or vendor, and this deed states instead that the grantor is a company and that no individual grantor is named. Ala. Code Section 6-10-3 conditions a married person's homestead conveyance on a spouse's signature and assent, and a company is not a married person, so no spouse signature block appears. The form recites one company grantor and one authorized signer; it is not set up for two grantors, an individual or corporate grantor, co-signature by two managers, or a release of series assets under Ala. Code Section 10A-5A-11.03.

Release words, then the probate counter

Alabama attaches title covenants to word choice: in a fee conveyance, grant, bargain, and sell are read as express covenants of an indefeasible fee, of freedom from encumbrances, and of quiet enjoyment, unless the instrument limits them (Ala. Code Section 35-4-271). This deed leaves those words out and says on its face that no Section 35-4-271 covenant arises. The deed goes to the judge of probate where the land lies, where an unrecorded Alabama conveyance is void against purchasers, mortgagees, and judgment creditors without notice (Ala. Code Section 35-4-90), and where the deed tax of Ala. Code Section 40-22-1 is collected with the sales value information the state gathers on Form RT-1.

Page one holds its upper three inches clear for the recording stamp, and the preparer endorsement Ala. Code Sections 35-4-110 and 35-4-113 require is printed in the deed's text.
