Nome Borough Special Warranty Deed (Corporation Grantor) Form

This fillable Alaska special warranty deed is built for a corporation grantor: the grantor section names the corporation and its state of incorporation, the signature block pairs the corporation's name with a By line, printed name, and title for the officer or authorized agent who signs, and the notary certificate is Alaska's corporate representative acknowledgment. One corporate signature and one certificate execute the deed for recording anywhere in Alaska's statewide recording system.

A warranty confined to the corporation's own years on title

Alaska supplies statutory deed forms at the two ends of the warranty spectrum, the full warranty deed of AS 34.15.030 and the quitclaim deed of AS 34.15.040, and nothing in between. AS 34.15.080 adds that no covenant is implied in a conveyance of real estate, so a special warranty deed, also searched as a limited warranty deed, exists in Alaska only through express covenant text written into the instrument. This form carries that text. The corporation grants, sells, and conveys the property, then covenants to warrant and defend the title against every person lawfully claiming by, through, or under the corporation, but not otherwise. Title matters rooted in the earlier chain, before the corporation acquired the property, stay outside the covenant, the posture that appears throughout commercial conveyancing when a corporate seller stands behind its own acts alone. The deed states the AS 34.15.080 rule on its face, so the recorded instrument itself shows that the express special warranty is the only title covenant made.

A signature block built for an officer, not an individual

The form recites corporate capacity from start to finish. Section 1 identifies the corporate grantor with its exact legal name, jurisdiction of incorporation, and mailing address; Section 8 states that the signer acts in a representative capacity and not individually; and Section 9 carries the corporate signature architecture, with the officer signing on the By line above printed name, title, and date. The acknowledgment follows the content of AS 09.63.100(a)(2), under which the officer or agent acknowledges the instrument on behalf of the corporation, and the venue line accepts an Alaska judicial district or, for a signing before an out-of-state notary, a county.

A developer corporation deeding a newly completed house to its buyers, an Alaska Native corporation transferring a parcel, and a corporation conveying real estate as part of a wind-down all present the single-officer signature pattern this deed recites. The form is set up for one corporate grantor; deeds signed by individuals, limited liability companies, partnerships, or trustees carry different capacity language and different statutory acknowledgment forms than this deed states.

Recording with Alaska's statewide recorder

Alaska records deeds through the Department of Natural Resources recorder's office, organized into 34 recording districts rather than counties, and the deed identifies the district where the property is located, a recording eligibility element under AS 40.17.030. The first page reserves two inches at the top for the recorder's stamp under 11 AAC 06.040, and the form carries the return address block and the grantor and grantee mailing addresses the recording statute requires, the items whose omission results in non-acceptance. Recording fees run $20 for the first page and $5 for each additional page, and Alaska imposes no transfer tax and requires no transfer declaration, so the acknowledged deed and its fee are the complete recording package. Once recorded, the deed gives constructive notice and priority protection under AS 40.17.080.

The download includes three pieces: the blank special warranty deed form as a fillable PDF, a completed example showing a realistic Anchorage Recording District conveyance from an Alaska corporation to two grantees, and a plain language guide that walks through every numbered section, the officer's signing and acknowledgment, and recording with the state. The materials describe Alaska law in general terms and are informational only, not legal advice; an Alaska attorney can address how these rules operate on a particular corporate conveyance.
