Maricopa County Quitclaim Deed (LLC Grantor) Form

When the grantor on an Arizona quitclaim deed is a limited liability company, the deed carries recitals an individual owner's deed never needs. A company holds title in its own name but acts only through people, so this form names the LLC as grantor, recites that the person signing is authorized to execute and deliver the deed as the act of the company, and places the signature on a "By:" line completed by a member, manager, or officer. The conveyance itself follows the quitclaim wording of A.R.S. Section 33-402(1): the company transfers whatever interest it holds, if any, with no covenant or warranty of title.

Who May Sign for the Company

Arizona answers the authority question in the Limited Liability Company Act rather than in the recording statutes. Under A.R.S. Section 29-3301, each member of a member-managed LLC is an agent of the company for conducting its activities in the ordinary course, while in a manager-managed company that agency belongs to the managers, and a member holds it only by delegation. The Arizona act reserves the sections where the uniform law places recorded statements of authority, so no public filing substitutes for the operating agreement; what reaches the county record is the deed's authority recital, the signer's stated title, and an acknowledgment taken in a representative capacity. The notary certificate identifies the signer by name and capacity in the manner the short form statute, Section 41-265, describes for a person signing as an officer of a named entity.

The Exemption Code Written for Company Transfers

An Arizona deed transferring title records with a completed Affidavit of Property Value or an on-face exemption notation, and the exemption list includes an entry built for this deed's territory. Code B7 covers a transfer between related business entities for no or nominal consideration, and the Department of Revenue's published list names transfers between an LLC and a member of the LLC, between parent and subsidiary, and between commonly controlled entities. The form gives the notation its own line under the property section, and the completed example shows a company distributing a Phoenix rental parcel to its sole member with the entry A.R.S. 11-1134 B7. A company selling for actual consideration appends the affidavit instead, and recording costs the flat thirty dollars of Section 11-475 either way.

What This Deed Carries

The form carries one grantor section identifying the company, its state of organization, and its mailing address; a grantee section with a vesting line; the quitclaim conveyance with an express no-warranty statement; a single "By:" signature block with printed name and title lines; and one acknowledgment certificate stated for a representative signer. A company winding up and deeding its last parcel to its member, two commonly controlled companies moving a property between them, and an LLC releasing a claimed interest so a title can close all present the single-company-grantor pattern this deed recites. The form recites exactly one entity grantor acting through one authorized signer; it is not set up for two co-owning grantors, for a human grantor's marital status recital, or for the trust beneficiary disclosure that a conveyance by a trustee carries under Section 33-404. Because the grantor is a company rather than a spouse, no community property joinder line appears anywhere on it. Deeds notarized on or after September 12, 2026 also pick up the notary journal thumbprint rule of Arizona's 2026 anti-fraud act.

The package pairs the blank fillable deed with the completed Maricopa County example and a section by section guide to the authority recital, the grantee vesting options, and recording. The materials are informational and are not legal advice.
