Santa Cruz County Quitclaim Deed (Corporation Grantor) Form

The signature line on this Arizona quitclaim deed carries a title after the name. The grantor is a corporation, and a corporation conveys real property only through a natural person, an officer or agent authorized to act for it. The form is built around that mechanics: Arizona's quitclaim words under Section 33-402(1), a corporate signature block with a By line, a representative capacity recital, and the matching notary certificate.

An Officer's Pen, the Corporation's Conveyance

Under A.R.S. Section 10-302, an Arizona corporation may own real property and may sell, convey, and otherwise dispose of all or any part of it. The deed's operative section recites that the corporation acts by and through the undersigned officer or agent duly authorized to execute and deliver it, then quit claims all of the corporation's right, title, and interest, with no words of warranty following, so the grantee takes the interest the corporation holds at delivery, if any. The acknowledgment follows the A.R.S. Section 41-265 short form, naming the individual as an officer of the corporation.

What the Form Recites

One grantor block identifies the corporation, its state of incorporation, and its address. Grantee, vesting, legal description, exemption notation, consideration, and source of title follow in numbered sections; the signature block names the corporation above a By line for the officer's signature, printed name, and title, and a single acknowledgment certificate closes the execution. Corporate housekeeping presents this pattern in county records: a corporation moving a parcel to a commonly controlled limited liability company, an entity distributing real property while winding up, and a corporation releasing a claimed interest so another title can close. The completed example documents the first pattern, a Phoenix parcel passing between related entities in Maricopa County.

Exemption Codes Written for Entities

Two entries in the A.R.S. Section 11-1134 exemption list speak directly to corporate transfers. Code B7 covers a transfer between related business entities for no or nominal consideration, and code B6 covers a transfer pursuant to a merger of corporations. Where one applies, the code appears on the face of the deed in place of the affidavit of property value; where none applies, Department of Revenue Form 82162 rides with the deed, since Section 11-1133(C) tells the recorder to turn away a deed with neither. The completed example claims A.R.S. 11-1134 B7.

Recording a Corporate Deed After the 2026 Act

Recording happens at the county recorder of the property's county for the flat statutory fee of A.R.S. Section 11-475. The 2026 anti-fraud act, Laws 2026, Chapter 31, reaches corporate deeds too: beginning September 12, 2026, the notary journal entry for a deed includes the signer's thumbprint, and a document recorded in person or at a kiosk calls for photo identification unless it arrives through an exempt channel such as a title insurer, bank, attorney, or government office.

The Rest of the Arizona Quitclaim Set

A single human grantor conveying alone is the Arizona Quitclaim Deed (Individual Grantor); a fiduciary conveying trust-held property, with the Section 33-404 beneficiary disclosure, is the Arizona Quitclaim Deed (Trustee Grantor); and spouses or other co-owners conveying together are the Arizona Quitclaim Deed (Joint and Community Property Grantors).
