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

Which signature moves an Arkansas partnership's land depends on how the chain of title reads, and the Uniform Partnership Act (1996) sorts that question paragraph by paragraph. This quitclaim deed is configured for one partnership or limited partnership as grantor; it releases whatever interest the entity holds at delivery, without warranty of title.

The paragraph the chain of title puts a deed in

Arkansas Code Annotated Section 4-46-302 is written as three cases, and the recorded vesting instrument decides which governs: property held in the name of the partnership may be transferred by an instrument of transfer executed by a partner in the partnership name; property held by partners whose capacity as partners is indicated, without the partnership name, is transferred by the persons in whose name it stands; and property showing no partnership capacity takes a third route. Section 5 asks for the instrument that put title where it stands, which shows why one signature was enough.

Where one partner's signature stops binding

Section 4-46-301 supplies the agency rule underneath. Each partner is an agent of the partnership for the purpose of its business, and a partner's act, including execution of an instrument in the partnership name, for apparently carrying on in the ordinary course the partnership business binds the partnership, unless the partner lacked authority and the person dealing with the partner knew of it. Subsection (2) draws the other side: an act not apparently in the ordinary course binds the partnership only if the other partners authorized it. A real estate conveyance can land on either side depending on the partnership's business, which is why Section 6 records the source of authority.

Authority that reaches the land records, and then expires

Under Section 4-46-303, a grant of authority to transfer real property held in the partnership name is conclusive in favor of a person giving value without knowledge to the contrary only when a certified copy of the filed statement is recorded where transfers of that property are recorded, and a recorded limitation puts everyone on notice. A filed statement also lapses by operation of law five years after its filing or latest amendment, and it reaches the county records as its own instrument, not included in this package.

One entity, one signer, two witnesses

The form recites one partnership, with blanks for the form of entity and the jurisdiction of organization, so the record shows whether the grantor answers to the Uniform Partnership Act (1996) or to the Uniform Limited Partnership Act (2001), where authority runs to the general partners named in the certificate filed with the Secretary of State. Section 6 collects the signing individual, the capacity held, and the authority relied on. Two disinterested witnesses subscribe under Section 18-12-104, and one entity acknowledgment certificate follows, drawn to the substance of Section 16-47-107(a). No marital status entry appears, because dower, curtesy, and homestead attach to land a married person owns. Patterns presenting this configuration recur: a general partnership deeding a tract to the successor entity the partners organized, a limited partnership releasing a remnant left by a highway realignment, and a partnership conveying a parcel to a retiring partner in settlement of that partner's interest. A deed needing two partners' signatures, and one by co-owners holding as individuals, sit outside these blocks.

The words that would have added covenants

Section 18-12-102 attaches a covenant of indefeasible fee simple seisin, a covenant against encumbrances the grantor made or suffered, and a covenant of quiet enjoyment to any deed resting on the words grant, bargain and sell, absent express limiting words. This deed operates instead by remise, release, and forever quitclaim, disclaims those covenants, and adds that the signing individual gives no personal covenant. Arkansas taxes consideration above one hundred dollars at $3.30 per $1,000, and Section 8 prints the Section 26-60-110 certification, which the statute assigns to the grantee or that person's agent, beside the statutory exemption sentence. Act 752 of 2025 reaches the individual signing for a grantor, so the identification a counter or mail filing has carried since August 5, 2025 belongs to the partner named in Section 6.
