Chilton County Quitclaim Deed (Partnership or Limited Partnership Grantor) Form

Alabama lets a partnership put its signing authority into the same land records that hold its deeds, and this form has a blank for the reference. The Alabama Quitclaim Deed (Partnership or Limited Partnership Grantor) hands one grantee whatever the partnership holds in a described Alabama parcel, warranty free, and Section 8 collects the recording reference of any statement of authority filed under Ala. Code Section 10A-8A-3.03.

Authority that can sit in the land records

Under Section 10A-8A-3.03(a) a partnership may file a statement of authority with the Secretary of State stating the authority, or its limits, of a named person or a stated position to sign an instrument transferring real property held in the partnership name. Section 10A-8A-2.03(a) lets a certified copy go to a judge of probate, and Section 10A-8A-3.03(f) gives the recorded copy its weight: a recorded grant of authority to transfer real property is conclusive in favor of a person who gives value in reliance on it without knowledge to the contrary, subject to the exceptions that subsection lists. Section 8 takes that reference; with no such statement on file, the same blanks take what the partnership does rely on, a numbered provision of the partnership agreement or a dated consent of the partners.

One partner signs, in the partnership name

Alabama treats the partnership itself as the owner. Section 10A-8A-1.04(a) makes a partnership a separate legal entity and Section 10A-8A-2.04 provides that property acquired by a partnership is property of the partnership and not of the partners individually, so no partner holds a share of the parcel to hand over. Section 10A-8A-3.02(a)(1) supplies the mechanics: partnership property held in the partnership name may be transferred by an instrument of transfer executed by a partner in the partnership name.

Two chapters, one signature line

The type entry in Section 1 records which kind of partnership signs, because the authority provision changes with it. General partnerships answer to the Alabama Partnership Law, Chapter 8A; limited partnerships answer to Chapter 9A, which has governed every Alabama limited partnership since January 1, 2017. There, Section 10A-9A-4.02(a) makes each general partner an agent of the entity and Section 10A-9A-3.02 denies a limited partner power as a limited partner to bind it, so a general partner signs.

Configured for one partnership and one signing partner

Section 8 takes the signing partner, that partner's capacity, the authority relied on, and the statement of authority reference; Section 10 carries one signature block captioned for the grantor partnership signing by its authorized partner. One certificate closes it, worded from the entity form of Ala. Code Section 35-4-29 for a partner executing as such partner and with full authority, for and as the act of the partnership. A partnership winding up its business and releasing a tract to the two partners who take it as tenants in common, and a partnership releasing whatever interest it may still hold where an old deed left the partnership name in a chain of title, present the pattern this deed recites. It is not set up for two partners signing together, for an individual or a company grantor, or for a parcel titled in the partners' own names, which Section 10A-8A-3.02(a)(2) routes elsewhere. The deed reports that no individual grantor or vendor is named, which answers Section 35-4-73, and carries no spouse assent block.

Release words, and the counter at the courthouse

The operative sentence remises, releases, quitclaims, and conveys, leaving out grant, bargain, and sell, the words Section 35-4-271 turns into express title covenants; the deed states that no such covenant arises. Until it reaches the record, Section 35-4-90 leaves the deed void against a later buyer, lender, or judgment creditor without notice, so it goes to the judge of probate where the land lies. That office measures the Section 40-22-1 deed tax against the value conveyed and takes Alabama's sales value information on Form RT-1. Page one holds its upper three inches open for the recording stamp, and the deed prints the preparer endorsement Sections 35-4-110 and 35-4-113 require.

Buyers reach this Alabama quitclaim deed as a quit claim deed, a quick claim deed, or a partnership deed.
