Glynn County Quitclaim Deed (Corporation Grantor) Form

A corporation signs this Georgia quitclaim deed twice, and only one of the two signatures is the deed's execution. An officer signs for the corporation, releasing whatever right, title, and interest the corporation holds in the described property with no warranty at all, and the corporate secretary or an assistant secretary signs the attest line beneath. The unofficial witness block and the officer certificate that follow belong to the first signature alone.

Two officer lines doing two different jobs

That split is the architecture of a Georgia corporate deed. Recordability runs through O.C.G.A. Section 44-5-30: the maker signs, an officer named in O.C.G.A. Section 44-2-15 attests, and one more witness attests, both watching the pen move. The corporation is the maker and the signing officer is the hand, so that officer's signature is what the notary and the unofficial witness attest. The attest line below it answers a different statute. Under O.C.G.A. Section 14-5-7(a), a conveyance of real property signed by the president or vice-president and attested or countersigned by the secretary, an assistant secretary, the cashier, or an assistant cashier is conclusive evidence that the signer holds the office shown, that the signature is genuine, and that execution was duly authorized, and it works notwithstanding the lack of a corporate seal. O.C.G.A. Section 14-2-151 adds that a seal may be affixed but its absence impairs nothing. The Georgia Title Standards put the two tracks side by side: neither the seal nor a Section 14-5-7 officer's signature is a recording requirement, since recording answers to the attestation rules of Title 44. The form carries both patterns and prints no seal notation.

An entity release, with the jurisdiction of incorporation on its face

One grantor entry names the corporation exactly as record title names it, beside a blank for the state or other jurisdiction of incorporation, the entry an examiner uses to find the entity in a public registry. The operative words remise, release, and forever quitclaim the corporation's right, title, interest, claim, and demand, and because Georgia implies no warranty into any deed (O.C.G.A. Section 44-5-61) the instrument says in plain terms that it gives none. Georgia publishes no statutory deed form (O.C.G.A. Section 44-5-33), and the instrument is searched as a quit claim deed or non-warranty deed as often as by name. The configuration turns up wherever a company is closing a question rather than selling: a remnant interest left from an old conveyance, released so an examiner can pass the chain; a parcel moved to a wholly owned subsidiary in a reorganization; or a release back to an earlier owner so a corrective instrument can run. A single individual grantor and a limited liability company each sign under a different pattern, and this form carries neither.

Authority sits behind the signature, not on the deed

Georgia keeps the internal vote off the face of the instrument. O.C.G.A. Section 14-2-1201 lists dispositions a board of directors may make on its own terms with no shareholder vote unless the articles of incorporation call for one, while O.C.G.A. Section 14-2-1202 covers a disposition of all or substantially all of the corporation's property, which the board proposes and the voting shareholders approve. A grantor incorporated elsewhere carries a footnote: O.C.G.A. Section 14-2-1502(d) states that failing to obtain a certificate of authority does not impair the validity of a foreign corporation's acts.

A ten dollar deed still files a PT-61

Georgia measures transfer tax against consideration or value above one hundred dollars (O.C.G.A. Section 48-6-1), so a nominal corporate release owes none, yet the PT-61 real estate transfer tax filing still travels with the deed under Rule 560-11-2-.17, prepared through the state clerks' authority system. That is the completed example: a Richmond County corporation releasing a commercial parcel for ten dollars. Filing is twenty five dollars under O.C.G.A. Section 15-6-77. Where a company's own officer walks the deed in rather than a Georgia attorney or title agent, the filer is a self-filer and files electronically with verified government identification. Page one opens with the return-to name and address that O.C.G.A. Section 44-2-14(b) places at the top, plus a parcel number line for DeKalb County, below a full clerk's reserve.

The package holds the blank corporate quitclaim deed as a fillable PDF, a completed example built on a Richmond County corporate release, and a plain language guide covering all eight numbered sections, both officer lines, the attestation, and the filing path. It describes Georgia law generally and is not legal advice.
