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

A Florida partnership can place its signing authority on the public record before it signs a deed. Section 620.8303, Florida Statutes, lets a partnership file a statement of partnership authority naming the partners authorized to execute an instrument transferring real property held in the partnership name, and a certified copy recorded where the land lies is conclusive in favor of a person who gives value without knowledge to the contrary. This fillable form prepares the deed that follows: a Florida quitclaim deed in the statutory form of Section 689.025, made by a partnership or limited partnership and signed by one partner in the partnership name.

One signature, in the partnership name

Section 620.8302(1)(a) supplies the rule the signature block is built around: property held in the partnership name may be transferred by an instrument executed by a partner in the partnership name, subject to a recorded statement of partnership authority. For a limited partnership, Section 620.1402 makes each general partner an agent of the entity, including for the signing of a record in the partnership's name. The execution block prints the partnership name above a By line, with entries for the signer's printed name, title, date, and post-office address beneath it, and the operative paragraph recites the same arrangement: the first party holds record title in the partnership name and acts by the undersigned partner or, for a limited partnership, by the undersigned general partner or authorized agent.

The partnership configuration

The form recites one first party, a partnership or limited partnership holding record title in its own name, and one second party. Section 1 takes the partnership name as the vesting deed spells it, the entity type and state of organization, and the partnership's post-office address; Section 2 takes the grantee's name and post-office address, with room for two grantees and a vesting designation. One signature block, two subscribing witness blocks, and one acknowledgment certificate serve the single signature the deed collects, and no joining spouse block appears, because the owner of record is an entity. Records presenting this configuration include a limited partnership distributing a parcel to a partner as a project winds down, a family limited partnership conveying a parcel to a successor partnership, and a partnership releasing to an adjoining owner its record interest in a strip the surveys left in doubt. The form is not set up as a deed by individual partners in whose own names a parcel stands of record, which Section 620.8302(1)(b) and (c) assign to those persons' signatures, nor as a conveyance by a limited liability company, a corporation, a trustee, or a natural person.

Two witnesses and the partnership certificate

The partner signs before two subscribing witnesses under Section 689.01, and the witness blocks carry the printed name and post-office address that Section 695.26 has made recording data for each witness since January 1, 2024. The certificate is the partnership short form of Section 695.25(4): the officer names the acknowledging partner or agent as partner (or agent) on behalf of the named partnership, marks whether the signer appeared by physical presence or online notarization, and records whether the signer was personally known or produced identification. A reserved area below the officer's signature lines holds the rubber stamp seal Section 117.05 requires on a paper document.

What passes, and what the clerk collects

The deed passes whatever the partnership holds, with no covenant of title; mortgages, liens, easements, and restrictions of record continue against the land. Section 695.01(2) nonetheless deems a grantee by quitclaim deed a bona fide purchaser without notice within the recording act. Documentary stamp tax under Section 201.02 is computed on consideration as chapter 201 measures it, 70 cents per 100 dollars outside Miami-Dade County, with any mortgage balance counted even where the deed recites ten dollars; a distribution to a partner is measured under the same rules. The first page keeps its top right 3-inch square clear for the clerk, and the parcel identification number blank Section 689.025 calls for sits beside the legal description.

The download holds the blank deed as a fillable PDF with a removable instructions page, a completed example built on an Orange County distribution from a Florida limited partnership to an individual, and a guide covering every entry, the chapter 620 signing rules, the witness and notary blocks, and recording with the clerk of the circuit court.
