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

A partnership deed is signed by a co-owner acting as the firm's agent, not by an officer or manager. Chapter 358 of the Revised Statutes of Missouri supplies that footing: every partner is an agent of the partnership for its business, and a partner's execution of an instrument in the partnership name binds the partnership where the act apparently carries on the business in the usual way. This Missouri quitclaim deed puts that arrangement on the record: a partnership, limited partnership, or registered limited liability partnership holds title, one partner signs in the partnership name, and the interest held at delivery passes without covenant or warranty of title.

The subsection that lets one partner convey

Section 358.100.1 states the rule in a line: where title to real property is in the partnership name, any partner may convey title to such property by a conveyance executed in the partnership name. A string stays attached. The partnership may recover the parcel where the partner's act did not bind it under Section 358.090.1, unless the property has passed to a holder for value without knowledge that the partner exceeded authority. A partners' consent or certificate of authority answers that question and is prepared separately from this package.

One partnership, one partner, one certificate

The form recites exactly one Grantor and exactly one signer. Section 2 collects the name and capacity of the partner signing, one signature line runs under a heading naming the partnership acting by that partner, and one certificate follows. A limited partnership releasing a platted lot into the successor limited partnership that replaced it, and a general partnership letting go of a remnant tract still carried in the firm name, present the pattern this deed recites. A deed signed by two partners, a corporate officer, or an individual owner recites a different grantor block.

General partnership, limited partnership, or LLP

Entity identity takes three first page blanks: the partnership name, its type and home state, and a mailing address. Section 359.021 has a limited partnership's name carry the words limited partnership or the abbreviation LP or L.P., and Section 358.450 ends a registered limited liability partnership's name with L.L.P. or LLP. A limited partnership signs through a general partner named in its certificate of limited partnership, who holds under Section 359.251 the powers of a partner in a partnership without limited partners.

A certificate printed outside the deed statute

Section 442.210 lists Missouri's acknowledgment short forms, and a partnership is not among them: a natural person in that person's own right, one acting by attorney in fact, and a corporation or joint stock association. The partnership certificate sits in the notary statutes. Section 486.330 prints a form for a named partner of a named partnership executing in behalf of it, and Section 486.750 has a notary certify a signature made as a partner. This certificate carries that substance, with the line Section 442.145 gives the officer for stating whether the appearance was physical or remote.

Marital status when the owner is a firm

Section 442.130 draws a married or unmarried statement from any natural person executing a Missouri conveyance, and recorders index that status from page one. A partnership has none, and the deed says so in terms, while page one carries a married or unmarried line for the partner who signs. No spouse signs. Section 513.475 and Section 474.150.2 reach a married person's own real estate, and Section 358.250 keeps homestead, dower, curtesy, and allowance claims out of specific partnership property.

Quitclaim words, and what stays behind

Missouri publishes no official quit claim deed form, so operative words govern. Section 442.420 turns grant, bargain and sell into limited covenants of title unless express terms restrain them, so this deed remises, releases, and forever quitclaims instead, and states that no covenant of title arises from anything written in it. Only the interest held at delivery moves, which leaves the after acquired title rule of Section 442.430 out, and deeds of trust, liens, easements, and unpaid taxes continue to burden the parcel. Filing goes to the recorder of deeds where the land lies, on a first page whose top three inches stay clear.

This package delivers three files: the partnership quitclaim deed as a fillable PDF, a completed Cape Girardeau County example in which a Missouri limited partnership quitclaims a subdivision lot to its successor partnership, and a plain language guide to every blank, the partnership execution statutes, and recording. The materials describe Missouri law generally and are not legal advice.
