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

When Florida real estate stands in the name of a partnership, the deed that moves it carries an extra layer: a signature that binds the entity rather than a person. This quitclaim deed form pairs Florida's statutory quitclaim language, Section 689.025, Florida Statutes, with the execution pattern chapter 620 sets out for partnership property, a partner signing the instrument in the partnership name.

A statutory form, applied to an entity grantor

Florida wrote its quitclaim form into statute in 2023. Section 689.025 supplies the operative words, remise, release, and quitclaim, and the deed conveys all the right, title, interest, claim, and demand the first party has in the described parcel, together with improvements and appurtenances, with no covenant or warranty of title. The statutory form also calls for a blank space for the parcel identification number, which this form places beside the legal description; an omitted or incorrect number does not affect validity or recordability. This version of the form adapts the statutory first party to a partnership: the grantor section takes the partnership name exactly as it appears on the vesting deed, the entity type and state of organization, and the partnership's post-office address.

Who signs for the partnership

Under Section 620.8302, 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, subject to any recorded statement of partnership authority. For a limited partnership, Section 620.1402 makes each general partner an agent of the entity for its activities, including signing a record in the partnership name. The signature block mirrors that structure: the partnership name prints over a By line, and the signing partner's printed name, title, and post-office address follow beneath, the arrangement Section 695.26 contemplates for the person executing a recorded instrument.

Two witnesses, then the notary

Florida deeds conveying a freehold interest are signed before two subscribing witnesses under Section 689.01, and since January 1, 2024, the recording statute also requires each witness's printed name and post-office address on the instrument. The form carries both witness blocks with those lines, plus the statutory partnership acknowledgment of Section 695.25, including the physical presence or online notarization checkboxes Florida certificates now carry and the partner (or agent) on behalf of the partnership wording the statute prescribes.

What a quitclaim from a partnership conveys

The deed moves exactly what the partnership holds, no more; liens, easements, and other matters of record ride with the title. Florida adds one distinctive touch: Section 695.01(2) deems grantees by quitclaim deed bona fide purchasers without notice within the recording act. Deeds of this kind commonly appear in distributions from a partnership to a partner, transfers between related entities, and cleanups of a stray record interest. Documentary stamp tax applies at 70 cents per $100 of consideration in every county except Miami-Dade, which has its own rate structure, and chapter 201 measures consideration to include encumbrances on the property and presumes fair market value where the consideration is not money.
