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

New Hampshire lets one partner move partnership land. Under RSA 304-A:10, I, where title stands in the partnership name, any partner may convey it by a conveyance executed in the partnership name, and the same paragraph says what happens if that partner had no authority. This fillable quitclaim deed, drawn under RSA 477:28, is prepared for one partnership grantor whose title stands in its own name.

The Name Title Was Acquired In

RSA 304-A:8, III draws the outer boundary: an estate in real property may be acquired in the partnership name, and title so acquired can be conveyed only in the partnership name. Section 1 takes that name as record title reads it, the type of partnership, and the state of organization. A general partnership conveys under RSA 304-A, as does a registered limited liability partnership, which RSA 304-A:6, I treats as a partnership for all purposes of New Hampshire law. A limited partnership conveys through a general partner, who under RSA 304-B:24, I holds a partner's rights and powers.

Where One Partner's Signature Gets Its Force

Under RSA 304-A:9, I every partner is an agent of the partnership for the purpose of its business, and executing an instrument in the partnership name binds the partnership where the act is apparently for carrying on the business in the usual way, unless the partner in fact held no authority and the person dealt with knew it. Paragraph II withholds that effect from an act outside the usual course unless the other partners authorized it, and Section 9 is where the authorization goes on the page, by agreement article and consent date. New Hampshire kept the 1914 partnership act, so no recorded statement of partnership authority exists instead.

What the Statute Says About a Partner Who Went Too Far

RSA 304-A:10, I is unusual in carrying its own remedy. The conveyance passes title, and the partnership may recover the property unless the partner's act bound it under RSA 304-A:9, I, or unless the grantee, or someone claiming through the grantee, has conveyed to a holder for value without knowledge that the partner exceeded authority. That is what earns the authority entry its place on the recorded page.

One Signature, One Certificate, a Capacity in Print

The form recites exactly one grantor, a partnership, with a single signature line whose printed name entry answers RSA 478:4-a, I(c), and one certificate in the RSA 456-B:8, II representative capacity form, pairing the signer's name with the authority held and the partnership for which the deed was signed. Section 11 states in print that the partner named in Section 2 signs in the partnership name, not individually, making no individual covenant of title. Patterns that present this configuration in the record include a partnership selling a commercial building held for decades, a family limited partnership conveying a woodlot in a restructuring, and a partnership deeding a parcel to the partners in whose names title once stood. An individual owner, a corporation, a company, and a trustee each recite a different capacity.

Homestead Rights and Partnership Land

The two-signature homestead question that shapes New Hampshire deeds of a residence has no work here, and the partnership act says why. Under RSA 304-A:25, when partnership property is attached for a partnership debt, the partners cannot claim any right under the homestead or exemption laws. RSA 480:1 gives that right to a person occupying a dwelling as a principal residence, and RSA 480:5-a governs how a deed of it is executed. Partnership title leaves a partner nothing of the kind to release, so this deed prints no homestead release line.

Transfer Tax on a Partnership Conveyance

Section 10 answers RSA 78-B:6, which holds the recording unless tax payment evidence is attached or the deed states that the transfer is outside the tax. A sale pays seventy-five cents per hundred dollars of consideration on each side. A conveyance between an entity and its owners for no consideration can instead reach RSA 78-B:2, XXII, where ownership and the combined balance sheets stay as they were.

The package delivers the fillable deed, a completed example for a Coos County sale by a Berlin limited partnership, and a plain language guide to the eleven sections, the authority and tax entries, and the recording steps. Searchers reach it as a partnership deed or an LP deed, and often type quit claim as two words, though RSA 477:28 prints quitclaim. Nothing in the package is legal advice; it describes New Hampshire law in general terms.
