Questions answered? Let's get started!
A corporation never picks up a pen. This Michigan quitclaim deed is drafted around that fact: the Grantor is the corporation itself, and the deed reaches the record through one authorized officer who signs in the office the deed names. The execution section repeats the corporate name at signing and states the signer's office, the signature line carries the printed name MCL 565.201(1)(a) places beneath it, and one acknowledgment certificate records the officer's acknowledgment on the corporation's behalf.
Statutory words, no promises attached
The conveying is done by Michigan's short form. Under MCL 565.152, a deed stating that the grantor quit claims the described premises for a stated sum passes the grantor's estate in quitclaim, and no covenant travels with it: no covenant of seisin, none against encumbrances, no duty to defend, all of which belong to the conveys and warrants form of MCL 565.151. The absence carries to the counter: MCL 211.135 sends a conveyance containing a covenant of warranty to the county treasurer for certification before recording, and this form contains none.
Who signs for the company
Power over the parcel comes from MCL 450.1261: a corporation may hold real property in its own name and may sell, convey, exchange, or otherwise dispose of it. The roster of possible signers comes from MCL 450.1531: president, secretary, treasurer, and, if the corporation wants them, a board chair, vice-presidents, and other bylaw offices. Section 9 recites that the board of directors, the articles of incorporation, or the bylaws authorize the conveyance, and the signer's office is entered on its own line so a later examiner reads the capacity plainly. Where a corporation's own documents call for two officer signatures, MCL 450.1531(2) bars one person holding two offices from filling both.
One corporate grantor, one officer, one certificate
The form recites exactly one corporate Grantor, with blanks for the corporate name, the jurisdiction of organization, the corporate address, and the recorded instrument that put the parcel in the corporate name. That entry earns its place because MCL 450.1211 fixes what a corporate name contains and title practice reads the chain name against the name signing now. Patterns presenting this configuration run through Michigan records: a manufacturer selling a surplus parcel as it stands, a parcel moved to a wholly owned affiliate in the transaction MCL 450.1751(1)(c) reaches, a corporation winding up under MCL 450.1833, a company releasing an alley remnant to a neighbor. What the form is not set up as: a conveyance by individuals personally, an execution by a trustee or attorney in fact, or a deed for a limited liability company, whose signer is a member or manager under another act.
Value, tax, and two citation lines
Michigan reads total value from the face of the deed, so the form states it and adds a line for a real estate transfer valuation affidavit instead. Tax runs at $3.75 per $500 of value under MCL 207.525 and $0.55 per $500 under MCL 207.504, $4.30 per $500 combined, rounded up to the next $500. Because the state and county exemption lists are not identical, the deed carries one citation line for MCL 207.526 and a second for MCL 207.505. The completed example works that arithmetic on a taxable Ingham County industrial lot at $185,000: $1,387.50 of state tax and $203.50 of county tax.
Filed where the land lies
The signed deed goes to the register of deeds for the county holding the parcel, at the flat $30 fee of MCL 600.2567; Wayne County quotes the charter-county schedule it adopted for 2026. MCL 565.201 governs receipt, and this deed answers each condition in turn: the first line of print names one recordable event, the top 2-1/2 inches of page one stays unprinted, the type is black on white 20 pound stock, and two addresses appear, the grantee's and the drafter's business address. The deed also carries the Land Division Act statements for a parcel of unplatted land, including the exact right to farm text of MCL 560.109(4).
The download delivers this corporate quitclaim deed as a blank fillable PDF, a completed example filled in entry by entry for the Ingham County sale described above, and a plain language guide that walks each section, the officer's acknowledgment, the recording steps, and the Property Transfer Affidavit the new owner files with the local assessor inside 45 days. Often searched as a quit claim deed from a corporation, the form and these materials describe Michigan law in general terms and are not legal advice.

Ordered the Ohio Land Contract forms for Jefferson County. It was an awesome purchase for $28 bucks. Easy and straight forward for someone like me with no real estate background to make my own land contract and save a couple grand hiring an attorney to copy and paste one to me. I'll be buying the same package for every county I invest in!
We are grateful for your engagement and feedback, which help us to serve you better. Thank you for being an integral part of our community.
