Vernon Parish Quitclaim Deed (Corporation Grantor) Form

Louisiana's acknowledgment statute prints a certificate written for exactly this act: R.S. 35:511 sets out three forms, and the third belongs to corporations. The appearer, sworn or affirmed, states the office held and that the instrument was signed for the corporation by authority of its board of directors, then acknowledges the act as the corporation's own free act and deed. This Louisiana quitclaim deed is built around that certificate. One corporation transfers whatever right, title, and interest it holds in a described immovable, with no warranty, and the act names the officer who signs and the action that authorized it.

Corporate power is broad, and officer authority is a document question

R.S. 12:1-302 gives every corporation, unless its articles provide otherwise, the power to convey any part of its property. Which person may exercise it is answered elsewhere. R.S. 12:1-841 gives each officer the authority set forth in the bylaws or, consistent with them, the authority the board prescribes, so no statute names a default officer for corporate immovables. Section 2 carries that story into the conveyance record in four entries: the signer's office, the authorizing action, its date, and the evidence of authority with its registry data. The secretary's certificate that holds the resolution is recorded separately and is not part of this package.

Where the shareholders enter, and where they do not

R.S. 12:1-1201 keeps shareholders out of most transfers: absent contrary articles, no approval is needed to dispose of them in the usual and regular course of business, to encumber them at all, or to move them into an entity the corporation wholly owns. R.S. 12:1-1202 supplies the other half: a disposition that would leave the corporation without a significant continuing business activity takes shareholder approval, with a conclusive test at twenty five percent of total assets and of pretax income or revenues from continuing operations. That approval starts with a board resolution, and the authority section holds either answer.

A sworn certificate, and a corporation that may have no seal

The corporate certificate is not the individual certificate with a title added. The appearer is placed under oath or affirmation, and the sworn substance reaches the office held and the board's authority, printed here below the appearer line under the venue caption R.S. 35:511 calls for. The statute prints an express variation for a corporation with no corporate seal, which matters because R.S. 12:1-302 lists a seal among a corporation's powers rather than its obligations. The notary block carries the identification or bar roll number R.S. 35:12 lets a clerk treat as a ground for refusal.

Warranty excluded, price released

Civil Code article 2503 implies the warranty against eviction in every sale and lets the parties exclude it, though exclusion alone leaves the transferor owing the price back after an eviction, unless the buyer knew the danger, took at its own peril and risk, or released the obligation. Section 9 excludes the warranty as far as the article reaches and passes no title acquired later; Section 10 puts the grantee's peril and risk declaration and the express release above the accepting signature. Capitals print the one liability no agreement reaches, an eviction occasioned by the transferor's own act.

What this configuration recites

The act names one corporation, one grantee, and one signature given for the corporation. Section 1 asks for the jurisdiction of incorporation, so a corporation chartered outside Louisiana takes the same party section, and no marital status declaration sits on the transferor side, the concurrence Civil Code article 2347 calls for running between spouses rather than to an entity's property. A corporation releasing whatever interest an older recorded instrument still shows in its name, and a corporation moving a parcel to an affiliate after a reorganization, present the single-corporation pattern this deed recites. Bylaws calling for two officers to sign present a pattern it does not.

Searched as a corporate quitclaim deed, a quit claim deed from a corporation, or a deed signed by a corporate officer, it speaks Louisiana civil law and corporation law together. Recording in the parish where the immovable sits carries the transfer to third persons, and six recorded pages put the act in the $200 tier of R.S. 13:844. The package holds the blank deed as a fillable PDF, a completed example on a Rapides Parish pattern where an Alexandria corporation releases an old record interest, and a plain language guide walking the numbered sections, the authority statutes, and recording. The materials are informational and are not legal advice.
