Ketchikan Gateway Borough Quitclaim Deed (LLC Grantor) Form

A quitclaim deed signed for an Alaska limited liability company carries a layer a personal deed never needs: the grantor is a company, the signature belongs to a person, and the deed connects the two on its face. This Alaska Quitclaim Deed (LLC Grantor) form is built for exactly that configuration: one limited liability company releasing whatever interest it holds in Alaska real property, with no warranty of title, executed in the company name by an authorized member or manager.

The company conveys in its own name

Under AS 10.50.350, property acquired by an Alaska limited liability company belongs to the company, not to its members, and the company acquires, holds, and conveys real property in the name of the company. The deed's grantor section therefore recites the company's exact legal name as it appears in its articles of organization, its state of organization, and its complete mailing address, the address element AS 40.17.030(a)(8) requires of every party granting or acquiring an interest under a recorded deed. The signature that carries the conveyance rests on AS 10.50.250, the agency rule of the Alaska Revised Limited Liability Company Act: a member of a member-managed company, or the manager of a manager-managed company, binds the company by executing an instrument in the company name.

Conveys and quitclaims, with no covenants attached

The instrument follows the statutory quitclaim form in AS 34.15.040, whose operative words, conveys and quitclaims, pass all interest the grantor has, if any, in the described real estate. A deed substantially in that form operates as a conveyance, release, and quitclaim of all the grantor's existing legal and equitable rights, and because AS 34.15.080 bars implied covenants, the company promises nothing about the state of the title. That posture matches the transfers in which an entity quitclaim ordinarily appears in the record: a company distributing real property to a member as it winds down, conveyances between related or affiliated entities, and releases that clear a stale company interest from a chain of title so a sale or refinance can close.

One signature, a company-capacity acknowledgment

The form recites exactly one limited liability company as grantor and one authorized signer. The signature block collects the signer's name, title, and date under a line that signs for the company, and the printed conveyance section states that the signer acts as the company's member or manager and not individually. The notary certificate is the short form Alaska supplies for a limited liability company at AS 09.63.100(a)(3): its name line holds the signer, the capacity, the company, and its state of organization, and the certificate closes with the statutory phrase, on behalf of the limited liability company. The venue lines follow Alaska's judicial-district pattern rather than a county caption. The form is not set up for an individual grantor, for two co-owning grantors, or for an attorney-in-fact signing under a recorded power; each of those patterns recites a different grantor section and a different certificate.

Filed in the district where the land lies

The completed deed is presented to the Alaska Department of Natural Resources recorder's office for the recording district named on its face, with the statewide fee of $20 for the first page and $5 for each additional page. The form reserves the top two inches of its first page for the recorder's stamp and keeps the one-inch margins and 10 point minimum type that 11 AAC 06.040 requires, so the document presents as standard rather than paying the nonstandard-document fee.

The download package contains this quitclaim deed as a fillable PDF, a completed example showing one filled-in version of the same transfer, and a guide that walks through every section, the signing formalities, and the recording steps. The materials describe Alaska law in general terms and are not legal advice; an Alaska attorney can address how these rules operate on a specific property or company.
