Aleutians West Borough Quitclaim Deed (Partnership or Limited Partnership Grantor) Form

One partner's signature moves title held by an entire Alaska partnership. This form prepares an Alaska quitclaim deed in which the grantor is a general partnership or a limited partnership holding record title in the partnership name: one authorized partner executes in the entity's name, a single acknowledgment certificate is completed in a representative capacity, and the deed passes whatever interest the partnership holds in the property, if any, with no warranty of title.

One Partner Signs for the Whole Partnership

The deed recites the partnership grantor by its exact name, its form and state of organization, and its complete mailing address, and it states that title stands in the partnership name. The signature section carries the partnership's name, one partner's signature and printed name, the date, and the signer's title or capacity, in the style General Partner; the notary certificate's name-and-capacity line then reads in the representative style, naming the partner, the capacity, and the partnership on whose behalf the deed is signed. Patterns that present this configuration in the record include a partnership distributing a parcel during winding up, a family limited partnership rearranging its holdings, related entities moving property between themselves, and a partnership releasing whatever interest it may hold so a cloud on the record clears. The form recites one entity grantor holding title in the entity's own name; record title standing in the individual partners' personal names presents individual grantors and a different execution pattern than the single entity signature recited here.

Authority the Record Can Carry

Alaska's Uniform Partnership Act stands behind the one-signature architecture. Under AS 32.06.301, each partner is an agent of the partnership, and a partner's execution of an instrument in the partnership name, apparently in the ordinary course of the partnership's business, binds the entity. AS 32.06.302 governs the transfer of partnership property held in the partnership name, and AS 32.06.303 supplies a recorded backstop built specifically for real estate: a statement of partnership authority that names the partners authorized to execute an instrument transferring the partnership's real property. A certified copy of the filed statement, recorded where the land's records are kept, makes the recorded grant of authority conclusive in favor of a purchaser who gives value without knowledge to the contrary, while a recorded limitation is treated as known; a filed statement lapses by operation of law five years after filing or its latest amendment. The statement is prepared, filed, and recorded separately and is not included in this package. For a limited partnership, the signing partner in practice is a general partner, the person admitted under the partnership agreement and named in the certificate of limited partnership under AS 32.11.900.

What Conveys and Quitclaims Passes

The operative clause is built on the statutory quitclaim form at AS 34.15.040, whose words conveys and quitclaims pass all interest the grantor has, if any: a conveyance, release, and quitclaim of the partnership's existing legal and equitable rights. No covenant is implied under AS 34.15.080, so the grantee takes exactly what the partnership held, subject to liens and other matters affecting title, and the deed says so on its face. Under Sabo v. Horvath, taking by quitclaim does not by itself cost an Alaska grantee protected-purchaser status under the recording act, which leaves prompt recording doing the priority work AS 40.17.080 assigns to it.

Built for Alaska's Recording Eligibility List

The blanks track what the state's recorder examines before accepting a deed. The form names its recording district on the first page, recites complete mailing addresses for the partnership grantor and the grantee, and closes with the return-address block that tells the recorder where the original goes after recording; each of those items comes from AS 40.17.030, and a missing one is a ground for non-acceptance rather than a fee. The layout reserves two inches at the top of page one and keeps every margin and type size within the format regulation, 11 AAC 06.040.
