Denver County Quitclaim Deed (LLC Grantor) Form

Record title held in a limited liability company's own name puts a question in front of every deed the company signs: which manager or member may execute it. This Colorado quitclaim deed is configured for that posture, with one limited liability company as grantor releasing whatever interest it holds in the described property, a numbered section recording where management is vested and any statement of authority standing of record, one signature block for the authorized person who signs, and the statutory quitclaim wording of C.R.S. 38-30-113(1)(d).

Where the signer's authority comes from

The Colorado Limited Liability Company Act keeps that answer in the articles of organization. C.R.S. 7-80-405(1) provides that where the articles vest management in one or more managers, a member is not an agent of the company and has no authority to bind it solely by virtue of being a member. C.R.S. 7-80-405(2) provides that where management is vested in the members, each member is an agent of the company, and an act of a member, including the execution of an instrument in the company name, that apparently carries on the company's ordinary business binds the company. Section 2 of this form collects that management basis, together with the reception information of a statement of authority recorded under C.R.S. 38-30-172, which upon recording stands as prima facie evidence of the facts stated in it insofar as they affect title, and of the authority of the person who executed it. A statement of authority is recorded on its own and is not included in this package.

What a quit claim deed from a company gives up

C.R.S. 7-80-104(1)(c) gives a limited liability company the power to sell, convey, assign, and encumber its property, so title stands and moves in the company name; the grantor entry copies that name off the instrument by which the company took the interest, carrying the entity designator C.R.S. 7-90-601(3)(c) calls for. What the company gives up is narrow. The statutory quitclaim wording leaves warranty words out and puts quitclaim in the place of convey, producing a deed with no covenant of warranty that carries no title the grantor acquires after delivery, so the grantee takes the company's interest exactly as it stood at delivery, whole, partial, or nothing. The deed says so in capital letters, and it states that the person signing acts for the company in the position stated below and not individually, assuming no personal obligation.

One company, one signer, one certificate

The form recites exactly one grantor company and exactly one person signing for it, with a signature line carrying that signer's printed name, the date, and the title or position held with the company, and one acknowledgment certificate on the representative-capacity short form at C.R.S. 24-21-516(1)(b), which names the individual who appeared, that individual's type of authority, and the party on whose behalf the record was executed. A single-parcel holding company releasing its parcel at wind-up, a company that took title at a public trustee's sale passing on precisely what it received, and a company releasing an undivided interest to a co-owner already on the record present the posture this deed recites. The form is not set up for two grantor entities, for a corporation or partnership grantor, for an individual grantor, or for a signature given through an attorney-in-fact.

At the clerk and recorder's counter

The signed deed is recorded in the county where the property lies, and C.R.S. 30-10-409 treats it as recorded when the clerk accepts it and the fee is paid, with the endorsed date and time fixing the moment. Colorado charges a flat statutory document fee, 40 dollars under C.R.S. 30-1-103 plus the surcharges quoted as 43 dollars on county fee pages, and the documentary fee under C.R.S. 39-13-102 reaches only consideration above 500 dollars, at a penny per 100 dollars: 27 dollars and 50 cents on the example's 275,000 dollar sale. Section 5 also carries the notation C.R.S. 39-13-102(5)(d) contemplates where the property conveyed is not residential. A Real Property Transfer Declaration accompanies the deed, and C.R.S. 30-10-406(3)(a) sets the one-inch top and half-inch side and bottom margins the form already keeps.
