Franklin County Quitclaim Deed (LLC Grantor) Form

Title held in a company's name changes the question at signing. An Arkansas deed by an individual raises marital rights; a deed by a limited liability company raises authority: which human being may sign, in what capacity, and under what grant of power. This quitclaim deed is configured for one limited liability company as grantor, collects those three things, and moves whatever interest the company holds to the grantee without warranty of title.

Why a member's signature stopped proving itself

Arkansas replaced its LLC statute in 2021. Act 1041 repealed the Small Business Entity Tax Pass Through Act and enacted the Uniform Limited Liability Company Act at Arkansas Code Annotated Section 4-38-101 and following, and Section 4-38-110 makes that chapter govern every Arkansas limited liability company, whenever formed. One sentence reaches every conveyance: under Section 4-38-301 a member is not an agent of the company solely by reason of being a member. The automatic signing power the repealed act gave members is gone: authority traces to the operating agreement, to a member or manager action taken under it, or to general agency law. Section 4-38-407 holds the defaults, unanimous member consent among them for an act outside the ordinary course.

Capacity and authority on the face of the record

Section 6 is this variant's center: the individual signing, the capacity held with the company, and the source of the authority relied on, whether the operating agreement, a consent adopted under it, or a statement of authority filed under Section 4-38-302. The capacity travels with the printed name and appears again in the certificate, which matters because Section 18-12-202 measures a certificate by whether it identifies the person and the capacity in which that person acted. Section 4-38-302 also offers a way to put authority into the land records rather than a recital: a statement granting power to transfer real property held in the company's name, recorded in certified copy in the county records, is conclusive for a person giving value in reliance on it without knowledge to the contrary. That statement is recorded separately and is not part of this package.

An entity grantor, so no marital blanks

Dower, curtesy, and homestead attach to land a married person owns. Sections 28-11-301 and 28-11-307 endow a surviving spouse in lands the other spouse was seized of during the marriage, and Section 18-12-403 denies validity to an instrument affecting a married person's homestead without spousal joinder. No spouse holds those rights in a company's title, so the form carries no marital status entry and no joinder signature. Patterns presenting this configuration recur: a holding company deeding a rental parcel back to the member who contributed it, a company releasing whatever interest it may hold in an adjoining strip clouding a neighbor's sale, and a company passing real property out before dissolution. A deed by two companies, and a deed by an individual owner, sit outside these blocks.

The phrase this deed keeps out

Section 18-12-102 reads covenants of seisin, freedom from encumbrances, and quiet enjoyment into a deed built on the words grant, bargain and sell, unless express words limit them. This instrument conveys by remise, release, and forever quitclaim, and Section 7 adds that no statutory covenant arises and that the signer gives no personal covenant.

An acknowledgment written for entities

Arkansas has a certificate written for this signer. Section 16-47-107(a) covers instruments affecting Arkansas real estate executed by limited liability companies and other legal entities, the person appearing stating the capacity held and the authority to execute in the entity's name, and the certificate here carries that substance. Two disinterested witnesses subscribe under Section 18-12-104. Section 8 prints the statutory stamp certification for the grantee or the grantee's agent, and the guide walks the affidavit route and the Section 26-60-102 exemption list, where transfers made in the organization or reorganization of a business entity appear. Act 752 of 2025 reaches the individual signing on behalf of the grantor, so the identification a counter or mail filing has carried since August 5, 2025 belongs to the signer named in Section 6.
