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

Mississippi keeps its partnerships in two separate chapters of the business code, and a deed out of a partnership has to answer to one of them. This deed prepares that conveyance for a single partnership grantor, without warranty of title, and the deed's own face carries the answer: blanks for the kind of partnership, the individual signing in the partnership name, and the authority relied on.

Two chapters, and a blank instead of an assumption

A general partnership and a limited liability partnership answer to Title 79, Chapter 13, the Uniform Partnership Act (1997), effective January 1, 2005. A limited partnership and a limited liability limited partnership answer to Chapter 14, the Mississippi Uniform Limited Partnership Act, enacted by Laws 2015, chapter 453 and effective July 1, 2015. Section 79-14-114 even polices the name, requiring a limited partnership's to carry the words limited partnership or the abbreviation LP or L.P. Section 1 therefore takes the kind of partnership beside the name as formed and the jurisdiction of organization.

Where a single signature gets its force

Section 79-14-402(a) makes each general partner an agent of a limited partnership, so a general partner's act, including signing a record in the partnership's name, for apparently carrying on in the ordinary course the partnership's activities and affairs, binds the partnership unless that partner lacked authority and the person dealt with knew or had notice of it. Section 79-14-406(b)(3) then requires every partner's consent to dispose of all, or substantially all, of the partnership's property outside the usual and regular course. Hence Section 2, which records a capacity and a named authority: a dated provision of the partnership agreement, a consent of the partners, or a statement of partnership authority under Section 79-13-303. That record is obtained separately, not included here.

Without warranty, and an estoppel that runs one way

No warranty words appear in the operative section, and in Mississippi that omission fixes the deed's character. Section 89-1-37 gives a deed drawn without warranty the character of a quitclaim and release, reaching the title and possession the grantor holds and nothing beyond it, while Section 89-1-39 carries whatever estate the grantor may lawfully convey and estops the grantor and the grantor's heirs from asserting a later-acquired adverse title. A capitalized section lists the five covenants Section 89-1-33 packs into the word warrant, states that the partnership makes not one of them, and keeps the phrase grant, bargain, sell off the page, since Section 89-1-41 loads those three words with covenants of their own. Judgment liens, easements, mineral reservations, and a deed of trust the partnership signed ride through intact.

One partnership, one signer, one certificate

The form recites exactly one partnership grantor and exactly one individual signing in its name. A single signature block carries the signing capacity on its printed name line, and one acknowledgment certificate follows in the short-form wording the Revised Mississippi Law on Notarial Acts brought to Section 89-3-7(2). Section 11 puts the signer's role beyond doubt: acting in the partnership name and not individually, in no covenant, and giving no warranty of title. A family limited partnership distributing a parcel to a partner while winding up, and a partnership clearing a fractional record interest left from an earlier purchase of the same land, both present the entity conveyance this deed recites. It is not drafted for an individual grantor, for two partnerships conveying together, or for a limited liability company or corporation, each answering to its own organic statute. A search for a quit claim deed by a partnership, in the two word spelling, arrives here as well.

What the chancery clerk reads first

The first page keeps its upper three inches free for the clerk's stamp, and the data Section 89-5-24(2) assigns to page one sits underneath. Section 27-3-51 conditions recording on a mailing address and telephone numbers for every party, which an entity answers with its business address and telephone; a clerk may refuse a deed that omits them. Because Section 89-5-33(3) directs that an indexing instruction be distinctly set apart, the deed gives that entry a numbered section to itself. The base charge under Section 25-7-9 is twenty-five dollars for five pages.

The package describes Mississippi law generally and is not legal advice.
