Connecticut Quitclaim Deed (Partnership or Limited Partnership Grantor)

Connecticut lets a partnership put its signing authority into the land records, and this quitclaim deed carries a numbered blank for it. The form recites one partnership as Grantor, whether a general partnership, a limited partnership, or a registered limited liability partnership, and it collects one signature from one duly authorized person, two witness lines, and one certificate. Section 10 asks for the volume and page of a recorded certified copy of a filed statement of partnership authority.

Authority a purchaser can read on the record

Section 34-324 of the General Statutes has a partnership name, in its filed statement of partnership authority, the partners authorized to execute an instrument transferring real property held in the partnership name. A grant of authority in the filed statement is conclusive in favor of a person who gives value without knowledge to the contrary, except for transfers of real property, which subsection (d)(2) answers instead: for those the grant becomes conclusive once a certified copy of the statement is recorded in the office for recording transfers of that real property, which in Connecticut is the town clerk. The certified copy is obtained and recorded on its own, separately from this deed, and is not included in this package; Section 10 carries its volume and page, and where none is recorded the entry reads None.

Which partner signs

Section 34-323(a)(1) supplies the conveyancing rule: partnership property held in the name of the partnership may be transferred by an instrument of transfer executed by a partner in the partnership name. Section 47-5(a)(2)(B) adds the execution formality, having a partnership grantor subscribe through a duly authorized person who then acknowledges the deed. In a limited partnership that person is a general partner, since Section 34-17(a) gives a general partner all the rights and powers of a partner in a partnership without limited partners. Section 11 records the signer's name, the capacity held, and the authorizing action relied upon, while the consent or vote itself stays in the partnership files.

A narrow covenant, given by an entity

The conveyance runs on the short quitclaim form of Section 47-36c, and the heading prints the Statutory Form entitlement that Section 7-34a ties to statutory form fee treatment. Section 47-36f releases whatever right, title and interest the partnership turns out to hold, without covenants of title, and Section 47-36g holds the promise riding along to encumbrances the releasor made or suffered. Older trouble in the chain stays with the land.

How this form is configured

Twelve numbered sections take the partnership and its principal office, the form of partnership and the jurisdiction of organization, the grantee with the current mailing address Section 47-5(b) requires, the consideration, the town and legal description, the source of title, the encumbrances, the recorded statement of authority, and the conveyance in the statutory words. Execution runs to one signature line in the partnership name, two subscribing witness lines, and a single certificate tracking the partnership short form at Section 1-62(3), which closes on the words partner or agent on behalf of the named partnership, a partnership. A family limited partnership releasing a woodlot to an abutting owner, and a real estate partnership deeding out a rear parcel as it winds down, present the single-partnership pattern this deed recites. Two partnerships conveying together produce two executions, title standing in the individual partners' names is transferred by those individuals under Section 34-323(a)(2), and an individual owner or a fiduciary recites a capacity this form does not carry.

An exemption written for entity reshuffles

Chapter 223 taxes a Connecticut quit claim deed by its consideration, and one exemption is drafted for reorganizations. Section 12-498(a)(17) covers transfers to effectuate a mere change of identity or form of ownership or organization where beneficial ownership does not change, and the Department of Revenue Services has applied it to partnership facts, in Ruling 99-7 to deeds dividing one partnership's parcels among newly created partnerships with the same partners, and in Ruling 2000-3 to realty conveyed into a limited partnership by its owners. Form OP-236 accompanies the deed either way, and Section 12-497 keeps a taxable deed out of the record until that return reaches the town clerk and the tax is paid.
