Mohave County Warranty Deed (LLC Grantor) Form

The grantor block on this Arizona warranty deed names a company, not a person. The Arizona Warranty Deed (LLC Grantor) is the configuration of the state's statutory warranty deed built for real property titled in a limited liability company: the company appears as the sole grantor with its name, state of organization, and mailing address; one authorized member or manager signs on its behalf; and the notary certificate is completed in representative capacity. No marital status entry appears anywhere on the form, because an entity has none.

Who Signs When a Company Sells

A limited liability company acts only through an agent, and Arizona writes the default agency rules into A.R.S. 29-3301: in a member-managed company each member is an agent for the company's ordinary-course activities and affairs, while in a manager-managed company each manager is an agent and a member is not one solely by reason of membership. The company's articles of organization on file with the Arizona Corporation Commission state which structure applies and name the managers or members under A.R.S. 29-3201. The signature block on this LLC deed reflects that structure: the company's name first, then the authorized signer's signature, printed name, and title, so the record shows who acted for the company and in what capacity.

Arizona did not adopt the uniform act's recorded statement of authority; A.R.S. 29-3302 is reserved. With no county-recorded authority instrument available, closing review runs through the company's own records: the articles, the operating agreement, and, for a transaction outside the ordinary course, a resolution or consent.

The Warranty a Company Gives

The operative section carries Arizona's complete statutory promise. The deed conveys the described property and warrants the title against all persons whomsoever, the wording of A.R.S. 33-402(3) that reaches title defects arising at any point in the chain, and the word convey brings the two implied covenants of A.R.S. 33-435: no prior conveyance of the same estate to anyone other than the grantee, and an estate free from encumbrances at execution, a term the statute extends to taxes, assessments, and liens. An exceptions section frames that promise: current year taxes, patent reservations, and recorded easements and covenants entered there sit outside the warranty, and whatever goes unlisted stays within it, enforceable against the company.

One Company Grantor, One Certificate

The form recites exactly one grantor, a limited liability company, and closes with one signature block and one acknowledgment certificate patterned on the representative-capacity short form of A.R.S. 41-265, the certificate naming the signer, the type of authority, and the company on whose behalf the deed was executed. The ownership patterns that present this single-entity architecture in the record run from an investor company selling a renovated house, to a builder deeding a completed home out of its project entity, to a family LLC selling land it has held for a generation. The grantee section accepts any vesting Arizona recognizes, and the guide describes each one. The form is not set up for individual sellers, for spouses conveying community realty under the both-spouses rule, or for a fiduciary conveying trust property, configurations that carry different signer blocks and, for a trust, the beneficiary disclosure of A.R.S. 33-404 that a company conveying its own land does not use.

Recording a Company Deed in Arizona

The deed records in the county where the land lies at the statewide $30 fee of A.R.S. 11-475, with the $2 transfer fee of A.R.S. 11-1132 already inside that amount, and A.R.S. 33-411.01 gives the transferor sixty days to place it of record. A sale for value reaches the recorder together with the Affidavit of Property Value, a state Department of Revenue form completed and signed outside this package; several company transactions, among them no-consideration transfers between related entities, are instead exempt under A.R.S. 11-1134, and the deed prints a line beneath the legal description for the exemption code. The first page holds the two inch top reserve of A.R.S. 11-480 open for the recorder and puts the requester and return-address entries in its left 3.5 inches, the placement subsection (C) allows.

The download package contains three files: the warranty deed as a fillable PDF configured for a limited liability company grantor, a completed example showing a Pinal County sale from the company's grantor block through the representative-capacity notary certificate, and a plain language guide covering every section, the agency rules for signers, the grantee vesting forms, and the recording sequence. The materials describe Arizona law in general terms and are not legal advice.
