Apache County Quitclaim Deed (Partnership or Limited Partnership Grantor) Form

Among Arizona's entity grantors, only the partnership can answer its signing authority from the public record: under A.R.S. Section 29-1023, a recorded certified copy of a filed statement of partnership authority is how a limit on a partner's power to convey the firm's real property binds strangers to the partnership agreement. This quitclaim deed is drafted for that grantor, a general partnership or limited partnership holding Arizona title in the partnership name, conveying through one partner's signature with the quit claim wording of A.R.S. Section 33-402(1) and no covenant or warranty of title.

One Partner's Signature, the Firm's Whole Title

Property acquired by a partnership is property of the partnership under Section 29-1014, and a partner is not a co-owner of it under Section 29-1041, so this deed carries no marital status recital and no spousal joinder line: the community property joinder rule reaches spouses conveying property they hold, not a firm conveying its own title. Section 29-1021 makes each partner an agent whose execution of an instrument in the partnership name binds the firm in the ordinary course, Section 29-324 hands a limited partnership's general partner those same powers, and limited partners stay off the signature line.

Authority the County Record Can Answer

A filed statement supplements a partner's power to transact for the firm, real property receives its own treatment through certified copies recorded where the land records live, and a statement lapses five years after filing or its latest amendment. No filing is a precondition to recording this deed; where none exists, the authority recital in the conveyance section and the representative acknowledgment carry the record.

What This Deed Recites

The grantor section identifies the partnership by name, type, state of formation, and mailing address. Grantee, vesting, consideration, legal description, and source of title follow, with the A.R.S. Section 11-1134 notation line directly beneath the legal description; the signature section prints the partnership name above a single By line, closed by one acknowledgment in representative capacity on the Section 41-265 short form. A limited partnership distributing a parcel to a partner in a planned wind down, and a general partnership deeding land to a commonly controlled entity, present the pattern this deed recites; the completed example documents the first, a Chandler parcel in Maricopa County.

Subdivisions (d) and (e), Written for Partnerships

Arizona's exemption list names this transfer twice. Section 11-1134(B)(7) exempts no consideration and nominal consideration transfers from a partner to its partnership, subdivision (d), and from a partnership to a partner, subdivision (e); the county convention posts the claim as A.R.S. 11-1134 B7, the example's entry. A partnership selling for real consideration appends Department of Revenue Form 82162 instead, and either way the flat statutory recording fee applies.

A Partner Before the Notary

The acknowledgment on this deed is taken in a representative capacity: the certificate names the signer as partner or general partner of the named partnership, on behalf of the partnership, in the wording the completed example carries through its Maricopa County notary block. Arizona's 2026 anti-fraud act reaches this signing the same way it reaches every deed notarization: a journal thumbprint from the signer beginning September 12, 2026, and photo identification for a deed walked in to the recorder's counter, unless the deed arrives through an exempt channel. This package pairs the blank fillable deed with the completed example and a section by section guide. The materials are informational and are not legal advice.
