Bethel Borough Quitclaim Deed (Corporation Grantor) Form

An Alaska quitclaim deed from a corporation grantor puts the entity itself on the grantor line and routes the signature through one authorized officer or agent. This fillable form is built for that configuration: the deed recites the corporate name, entity type, and state of incorporation, the signature block carries the officer's printed name and title beneath the corporate name, and the notary certificate takes the representative form Alaska law supplies for corporations. The conveyance runs on the statutory operative words of AS 34.15.040, conveys and quitclaims, passing whatever interest the corporation holds in the described real estate, if any, with no warranty of title.

One Corporate Grantor, One Signing Officer

The form recites a single entity grantor acting in its own name. Under AS 10.06.025, a conveyance made in the name of an Alaska corporation binds the corporation when the board of directors has authorized or ratified it, or when the officers signing it act within their actual or apparent authority, and the same section reaches foreign corporations conveying real property situated in Alaska. The deed's capacity sentence states that the signer acts for the corporation and not individually, and the Title line places the office held on the record beside the printed name that Alaska's recorder indexes. A family corporation distributing a parcel to a shareholder, related companies consolidating title after a reorganization, an Alaska Native Claims Settlement Act corporation conveying land held in its corporate name, and a dissolving corporation conveying real estate during wind-down all present the single-entity pattern this deed recites. The form is not set up as an individual or co-owner conveyance; a deed signed personally by a natural-person owner presents a different signature and certificate pattern.

Conveys and Quitclaims, from an Entity

Alaska's statutory quitclaim passes all existing legal and equitable rights of the grantor, in fee, to the grantee and the grantee's heirs and assigns, and AS 34.15.080 bars any implied covenant, so the corporation promises nothing about the state of the title. One Alaska wrinkle is specific to corporate land: under AS 34.15.075, after-acquired title passes by operation of law under a quitclaim deed of Alaska Native Claims Settlement Act real property, an exception written around the state's ANCSA corporations; for other property, the deed reaches only what the corporation holds at delivery.

The Representative Acknowledgment

Recording requires acknowledgment, and for an entity signer the certificate does more than witness a signature. The corporate short form in AS 09.63.100(a)(2) names the officer or agent, the office held, the corporation, and its state or place of incorporation, and states that the acknowledgment is made on behalf of the corporation; under AS 09.63.090 that wording means the signer appeared, held the stated position, and acknowledged the deed as the corporation's own act, signed by proper authority. The certificate on this form carries Alaska's judicial-district venue style, works equally where an officer signs before an out-of-state notary, and remote online notarization under AS 44.50.075 is accepted by the state recording system.

Recording the Corporate Conveyance

The deed goes to the Alaska Recorder's Office for the district where the land lies, identified on the face of the document, with the corporation's and the grantee's complete mailing addresses and a return-to name and address, all recording requisites under AS 40.17.030. Fees run $20 for the first page and $5 for each additional page, with $2 for each indexed name over six, and no statewide transfer tax or transfer declaration accompanies an ordinary deed. Recording promptly matters here as everywhere in Alaska: AS 40.17.080 gives the recorded deed constructive-notice priority from the moment of recording.
