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

Partnership real estate reaches the record two ways, and only one puts the land in the firm's own name. This New Jersey quitclaim deed is drawn for that one: title standing in the name of a general partnership, a limited liability partnership, or a limited partnership, released by an instrument one partner executes in the partnership name, with no covenant of title.

Title in the Entity's Name, Not the Partners'

New Jersey made the partnership itself an owner. N.J.S.A. 42:1A-9, part of the Uniform Partnership Act (1996), makes a partnership an entity distinct from its partners, and N.J.S.A. 42:1A-27 adds that a partner is not a co-owner of partnership property. The deed consequence is N.J.S.A. 42:1A-14: land held in the partnership name moves by an instrument executed by a partner in the partnership name, while land in individual partners' names moves from the persons named on it. The presumptions of N.J.S.A. 42:1A-12 settle which side of that line a parcel bought with firm money falls on. Section 1 takes the entity's name, type, and jurisdiction of organization.

What Gives One Signature Its Reach

Every partner is an agent of the partnership for the purpose of its business under N.J.S.A. 42:1A-13, subject to any statement of partnership authority. Such a statement, described in N.J.S.A. 42:1A-15, may name the partners authorized to execute an instrument transferring real property held in the partnership name, and a limitation in one reaches outsiders once a certified copy is of record with the county recording officer. Section 2 collects what makes a lone signature legible to an examiner: the individual, the capacity, and the authority relied on. The statement is filed separately, outside this package.

Limited Partnerships Route Through the General Partner

A limited partnership answers to a second chapter, the Uniform Limited Partnership Law (1976) at N.J.S.A. 42:2A-1 and following. N.J.S.A. 42:2A-32 gives its general partner, except as that chapter provides otherwise, the rights, powers, and restrictions of a partner in a partnership without limited partners, which sends the conveyancing question back to the general partnership sections. A limited partner is not the signer here.

Released Without a Promise

N.J.S.A. 46:5-1 makes remise, release and forever quitclaim operative words, and N.J.S.A. 46:5-3 stops where they stop: what passes is the estate a bargain and sale deed from this grantor could have carried, with no covenant that the firm held it. Section 8 prints the omission in capitals, naming each covenant of N.J.S.A. 46:4-3 through 46:4-10 left out. A mortgage, a docketed judgment, an easement, or an unpaid municipal charge comes through untouched.

How This Form Is Configured

One grantor entity, one signer, one certificate. The form carries a grantor block for the partnership with name, type, and jurisdiction of organization; a partner block with capacity and authority source; a grantee block with mailing address and words of vesting; a prior deed reference; a signature block reciting that the partner signs in the partnership name and not individually; and one certificate whose printed paragraph covers authority and execution as the act of the partnership. It is not set up for title held in the partners' individual names, for two grantor entities, for a fiduciary signer, or for covenants of title, and it carries no spousal joinder block: the joint possession right of N.J.S.A. 3B:28-3 attaches to a married individual's principal matrimonial residence, not to ground titled in a firm name. Patterns presenting this configuration include a limited partnership at the end of its term releasing a remaining parcel to its general partner, a two-partner venture releasing ground to the partner who continues the business, and a partnership clearing a question an earlier conveyance left in the record.

Fees, Affidavits, and the Index

Consideration is recited under N.J.S.A. 46:15-6, and Form RTF-1 rides along where a Realty Transfer Fee exemption is claimed. Above $1,000,000 on a qualifying class, the Graduated Percent Fee that P.L.2025, c.69 wrote into N.J.S.A. 46:15-7.2 falls on the grantor. Partnerships complete a GIT/REP seller form like other sellers, and no county may accept the deed without one. Index data travels on a cover sheet or electronic synopsis.

Whoever records first without notice prevails under N.J.S.A. 46:26A-12, so a release like this goes to the county promptly. The download holds this deed as a fillable PDF, a completed example worked through an Ocean County parcel released by a limited partnership, and a plain-language guide to the authority statutes, the numbered sections, notarization, and recording.
