Conway County Quitclaim Deed (Corporation Grantor) Form

Two questions decide how an Arkansas corporation signs away real estate, and the Business Corporation Act of 1987 answers them in separate places: who inside the corporation may sign, and how much of the corporation moves with the parcel, because a tract amounting to all or substantially all of the corporate property takes a shareholder vote no officer supplies alone. This quitclaim deed is configured for one corporation as grantor and releases whatever interest it holds, with no warranty of title.

Where board power stops

Arkansas Code Annotated Section 4-27-302 gives a corporation, unless its articles provide otherwise, an individual's powers to own real property and to sell, convey, mortgage, lease, and exchange it. Section 4-27-1201 leaves a disposition in the usual and regular course of business, a mortgage of any property, and a transfer to a wholly owned corporation to the board of directors alone, with no shareholder approval unless the articles require one. Section 4-27-1202 draws the opposite line: a disposition of all or substantially all of the property, outside that course, takes a board proposal, a notice describing the transaction, and approval by a majority of all votes entitled to be cast. For a closely held corporation whose only real asset is the tract in the deed, that boundary is the transaction.

What the authority section records

Officers exist because the bylaws describe them or the board appoints them under the bylaws, which is what Section 4-27-840 provides, and no corporate title carries conveyancing power by its name alone. So the human side of the signature gets its own numbered section: the individual signing, the office held, and the source of authority, whether a bylaws provision, a board resolution, or a shareholder approval. That office repeats on the printed name line and in the notarial certificate, so one capacity reads consistently.

A curative rule written for entity certificates

Section 16-47-107(a) prints the acknowledgment form for instruments affecting Arkansas real estate executed by corporations and other legal entities, with the appearing person stating the capacity held in that behalf. Strict adherence is not the measure: under Section 18-12-208(c) an instrument is not insufficient because the acknowledgment departs from the printed form, drops the consideration and purposes phrase, lists a mismatched gender, or omits the title of the person acknowledging for a corporation. The certificate here carries that substance and names the capacity anyway, which is what a later examiner reads.

Three words the deed does not use

Section 18-12-102 converts grant, bargain and sell into statutory covenants of title unless express words limit them, so a no warranty conveyance keeps clear of the phrase. The conveyance section operates by remise, release, and forever quitclaim, and it adds that the signing individual conveys no individual interest and gives no personal covenant.

One corporation, one signer, one certificate

The form recites one corporation with its jurisdiction of incorporation, one signing individual, and a grantee block with a vesting line. Two disinterested witnesses subscribe under Section 18-12-104, and one notarial certificate follows, since one person signs for the grantor. No marital status entry appears, because a corporation has no spouse. Patterns presenting this configuration recur in the records: a corporation clearing the chain after a merger under a former name, a corporation releasing a surplus tract to a purchaser who prices no assurance about the title, and a corporation quitting whatever interest an old subdivision plat left in its name. A deed by two corporations, and one by a corporation acting as trustee, sit outside these blocks.

Stamps, identification, and the circuit clerk

Arkansas charges its transfer tax on actual consideration above one hundred dollars, and the deed prints the Section 26-60-110 certification for the grantee or that person's agent beside the statutory exemption sentence; the guide covers the affidavit route and the Section 26-60-102 exemption list. Act 752 of 2025 reaches the individual signing on behalf of a grantor, so on a corporate filing the identification a counter or mail presentation has carried since August 5, 2025 belongs to the officer named in the authority section.
