Mcintosh County Quitclaim Deed (LLC Grantor) Form

The company named as grantor on this North Dakota quitclaim deed cannot hold a pen. The form is configured for a limited liability company as sole grantor: Section 1 names the company and the state under whose laws it is organized, Section 9 names the individual signing in the company's name and that person's capacity, and the release runs from the company alone, without covenant or warranty of title.

An entity on the grantor line, a person on the signature line

Under Chapter 10-32.1 of the North Dakota Century Code a limited liability company is an entity distinct from its members, so the grantor is the company and the signature is an act performed in its name. Section 9 collects the signer's name and title, manager, member, president, or another office, then states that the individual signs in that capacity and not individually, conveying the company's interest alone. Section 12 carries a single signature block, followed by one acknowledgment certificate in the limited liability company form that Section 47-19-28.1 supplies.

Where the signing authority comes from

North Dakota routes an entity's execution through a named statute. Section 47-19-03, which lists what establishes execution before an instrument reaches the record, points for a corporation or limited liability company to execution and acknowledgment by the person or persons authorized to execute instruments under Section 47-10-05.1. A company may also file a statement of authority with the secretary of state under Chapter 10-32.1, stating the authority of a position or of a named person to execute an instrument transferring real property held in the company's name; a certified copy recorded in the real property records is conclusive in favor of a person who gives value in reliance on the grant. That statement is prepared and recorded separately and is not part of this package.

One signature, and no spouse to join

Section 47-18-05 conditions the conveyance of a married person's homestead, whatever its value, on an instrument executed and acknowledged by both husband and wife. That rule speaks to a married person, and a company is not one, so this configuration carries no joinder line or marital status entry. Entity grantors appear in familiar patterns: a holding company deeding a parcel to its members as it winds up, a company releasing a disputed interest to quiet a title examination, and a company moving property to an affiliate under common ownership. A release signed by two individual owners, by a married owner whose spouse joins in, or by a trustee for a trust follows a different architecture.

What the company releases

Section 10 speaks the operative words: remises, releases, and forever quitclaims. The word grant is absent, and that absence does two jobs. Section 47-10-19 reads two limited covenants into the word grant, while Section 47-10-15 sends after-acquired title through a quitclaim that carries that word. The form excludes both results and makes no covenant or warranty of title. The grantee takes the company's interest as it stands at delivery, subject to the easements, severed minerals, mortgages, and liens already of record. Section 47-19-41 adds a point peculiar to this instrument: the fact that a first recorded conveyance is a quitclaim deed does not affect a later purchaser's good faith and is not of itself notice of an unrecorded conveyance.

What prints on the face for the recorder

Section 11 carries the certification Section 11-18-02.2 puts on every North Dakota deed, stating either the full consideration paid or the exempting subdivision of subsection 6; subdivision h reaches a transfer of ownership of property for which a quitclaim deed is given, and the grantee or presenting agent signs and dates it with no notary involved. Section 5 carries the legal description statement of Section 47-19-03.1, which the example completes for its McKenzie County metes and bounds tract. Section 2 takes each grantee's post-office address and city street address, entries Sections 47-10-07 and 47-19-05 make prerequisites to acceptance. The auditor certifies transfer and taxes under Section 11-18-02 before the recorder takes the deed, recording runs twenty dollars through six pages, and no deed tax or transfer tax exists in the state.

Three files arrive with the purchase: the blank quit claim deed as a fillable PDF, a completed example filled in end to end for a McKenzie County limited liability company, and a guide covering the numbered sections, the ownership forms open to grantees, and both counters this deed passes through. The materials describe North Dakota law in general terms and are not legal advice.
