Otero County Quitclaim Deed (LLC Grantor) Form

A limited liability company has no marital status, so this New Mexico quitclaim deed carries no marital status line. It carries an office instead: the deed names the position the signing individual holds with the grantor company, because that is where New Mexico locates the authority to convey company real estate. The form is the statutory quitclaim deed of NMSA 1978, Section 47-1-44, configured for one limited liability company as grantor.

Title in the company name, and the offices that can move it

Section 53-19-29 places company land beyond the reach of the members: property a limited liability company acquires belongs to the company, a member has no interest in an item of company property, and company property is acquired, held, and conveyed in the company's own name. Two statutes then answer who signs for it. Section 53-19-30 provides that title standing in the company name may be transferred by an instrument executed by any member in the company name, unless the articles of organization or an operating agreement provide otherwise, and that in a manager managed company any manager may transfer while a member acting solely as a member holds no such power. Section 47-1-4.1 reaches the same question from the recording side, giving the manager, member manager, president, and vice president authority to execute conveyancing instruments for company real property. Section 7 of this form takes that office by name.

One signer, one certificate, and the capacity it names

The grantor entry takes the company name and the jurisdiction under whose law it is organized, the granting language runs in the company name, and one individual signs on one signature line above a role line reading grantor company, by its authorized signer. The certificate that follows is worded to the representative capacity short form of Section 14-14A-15, so its by-line holds three things in one entry: the individual who appeared, that individual's capacity, and the company whose act the signature was. In the completed example it reads: Alicia M. Vigil as manager of Pecos Bluff Properties, LLC. Because the land is company property rather than property of the members, no spouse joins in the instrument, and that absence separates this configuration from a deed drawn for owners holding in their own names.

Patterns this configuration carries

A company distributing a parcel to its members while winding up its affairs, a conveyance between two companies under common ownership after a reorganization, and a company releasing whatever interest it holds along a disputed boundary line all present the single company grantor pattern this deed recites. The form provides for one grantor company and one signature line; two companies conveying together, a corporation or partnership grantor, for which the same statute lists other offices, and land standing of record in a member's own name are configurations it does not carry.

No covenants, and nothing implied

New Mexico assembles warranty out of two defined phrases. Sections 47-1-37 and 47-1-38 attach implied covenants of title only where a deed grants with warranty covenants or with special warranty covenants. This instrument uses neither, states that posture in its own text and in capital letters, and passes the interest the company holds at delivery, liens and easements of record riding through untouched.

Recording, and the exemptions that reach company transfers

The original acknowledged deed goes to the clerk of the county holding the land, at the flat statutory fee of twenty five dollars for a document indexed in ten or fewer entries. Section 14-8-4 keeps an unacknowledged instrument out of the record, and the state levies no transfer tax and no documentary stamp. Residential property brings a confidential declaration of the transfer terms to the county assessor within thirty days, and the exemption list at Section 7-38-12.1(D) reaches company transactions directly: parent and subsidiary transfers, instruments arising from a merger, and quitclaim deeds recorded to clear a boundary dispute appear on it.

What the download prepares

The download prepares this LLC grantor configuration as a fillable PDF, with a completed example filled in for a Chaves County parcel and a plain-language guide covering each numbered section, the Limited Liability Company Act provisions behind the signature block, the forms in which grantees may hold New Mexico title, and the recording steps. Company records a title examiner may ask to see, an operating agreement or a recorded statement of authority among them, are prepared separately and are not part of this package. Buyers reach this instrument searching for a quit claim deed or a quick claim deed from an LLC; the New Mexico statutes spell it quitclaim. This is general information, not legal advice.
