East Feliciana Parish Quitclaim Deed (Partnership or Limited Partnership Grantor) Form

A Louisiana partnership holds land in its own name, and whether third persons must treat that ownership as the partnership's turns on a filing in Baton Rouge. Civil Code article 2806 sets it out: an immovable acquired in the partnership's name belongs to the partnership if the contract of partnership was in writing when the land was acquired, and as to third persons the partners are deemed to own it until that contract reaches the secretary of state's registry. This Louisiana quitclaim deed works the transferor side of that arrangement, moving whatever interest one partnership holds in a described immovable, with no warranty.

A registry in Baton Rouge, a record in the parish

The registry is not the parish record. Revised Statutes 9:3401 has the secretary of state keep a Central Registry for Contracts of Partnership, and Section 9:3402 sends the contract there to affect third persons as Civil Code articles 2806 and 2841 provide, Section 9:3405 answering with a certificate of registry that is conclusive evidence of due registration. Section 2 of this deed collects the contract date, the registry date, and the charter number, so the two indexes point at each other. The registry filing is made separately and is not part of this package.

The one transaction a partner's ordinary authority does not reach

Civil Code article 2814 makes a partner a mandatary of the partnership for matters in the ordinary course of its business other than the alienation, lease, or encumbrance of its immovables. Authority for this act comes from elsewhere, and article 2807 supplies the default: decisions affecting management or operation are made by a majority of the partners, unless the parties stipulate otherwise. Article 2996 takes the authority to alienate a thing to be given expressly where a mandatary signs. Section 2 holds the approval and its date, the signer's name and capacity, and the evidence of authority.

General partners, partners in commendam, and one signature

Louisiana calls its limited partnership a partnership in commendam, and the same form carries it. Article 2837 describes general partners holding the powers, rights, and obligations of partners alongside one or more partners in commendam, and article 2843 keeps a partner in commendam from binding the partnership or managing it, which is why the signature line belongs to the general partner side. Article 2841 adds that until the contract is filed for registry, partners in commendam answer to third parties as general partners do.

No warranty, and the one liability article 2503 keeps

Every Louisiana sale carries the warranty against eviction unless the act says otherwise, and article 2503 both permits an exclusion and limits what one accomplishes: the price still goes back after an eviction unless the party taking knew of the danger, accepted at its own risk, or gave up that claim in words. Section 9 carries the exclusion as far as article 2503 reaches, and no title acquired later passes under it. Section 10 sets the grantee's awareness, peril and risk, and release of the price above the accepting signature. Printed capitals carry the liability no agreement reaches, an eviction occasioned by the transferor's own act.

What the act names, and what it leaves out

The act names one partnership, one grantee, and one signature for the partnership, printed text stating the signer acts in that capacity and not as an individual party; the act says nothing of partner liability for partnership debts, which article 2817 governs. No marital status declaration sits on the transferor side, the concurrence article 2347 calls for running between spouses rather than to a juridical person's land. A partnership handing a tract to the partnership formed to continue the business after a partner withdrew, and a partnership in commendam moving a tract to a general partner in the division of assets after dissolution, present the single-partnership pattern this deed recites. Land taken in a partnership name while the contract of partnership was unwritten presents one it does not.

Searched as a partnership quitclaim deed, a quit claim deed from a limited partnership, or a partnership in commendam deed without warranty, it answers to Louisiana civil law and partnership law together. Third persons are reached by a filing in the parish of the property, and its six recorded pages price at two hundred dollars under Revised Statutes 13:844. The package holds the blank deed as a fillable PDF, a completed example built on a Terrebonne Parish pattern, and a plain language guide. The materials are informational and are not legal advice.
