Defiance County Quitclaim Deed (LLC Grantor) Form

A deed from an Ohio company does not ask who the grantor is married to. It asks who may sign for the company. This form sets up that record: a single limited liability company as grantor, its name and organization details on the deed, the authority relied on in its own numbered section, and one signature made in a stated capacity. The conveyance itself follows the statutory quit-claim form of Ohio Revised Code Section 5302.11.

Who may sign for the company

Chapter 1706 of the Revised Code answers that, and the answer is not a job title. Section 1706.18 provides that no person has power to bind a limited liability company except as the operating agreement, division (A) of Section 1706.30, Section 1706.19, or law outside the chapter authorizes, and the chapter no longer sorts companies into member managed and manager managed categories whose titles carry authority by themselves. Section 1706.30 fills a silent operating agreement: a majority of the members decides an ordinary course matter, and all of them consent to an act outside that course. Section 1706.19 adds a statement of authority filed with the Secretary of State, conclusive in favor of a person who gives value in reliance on it. Section 9 of this form puts that source on the deed, where the Ohio Title Standards send an examiner when a manager rather than every member signs.

The dower line an entity deed does not draw

Ohio kept dower, and the statutory quit-claim form prints a release sentence for the grantor spouse to sign. None of it appears here. Section 2103.02 endows a spouse with a life estate in one third of the real property of which the consort was seized during the marriage, an interest running through a natural person, while Section 1706.04 makes the company a separate legal entity. So the form carries no marital status entry, no release of dower, and no second signature line.

What a quitclaim carries out of a company

The operative words stay statutory: for valuable consideration paid, the Grantor grants to the Grantee. A deed following Section 5302.11 takes effect in fee simple without covenants of any kind, and Section 5302.03 confirms that no covenant is implied from the word grant, so the grantee takes the company interest as the record leaves it, mortgage lien and easement included. A company selling one of its rental houses, a company winding up and passing a parcel to its members, and a single member company deeding a lot back to its member present the company grantor record this deed recites. Searches for a quit claim deed, the hyphenated quit-claim spelling the Revised Code prints, or an LLC property transfer arrive here. Conveyances by individuals, by corporations under Chapter 1701, and by trustees follow other patterns.

Company entries the transfer counter reads

Ohio deeds meet the county auditor before the county recorder, and a company transfer meets its own lines on the auditor's exemption list: a conveyance pursuant to a corporate reorganization or dissolution, one from a subsidiary corporation to its parent, and item (m), a transfer for no valuable and tangible consideration that is not a gift, which pairs with a separate affidavit of facts. Form DTE 100, or the DTE 100EX exemption statement, travels with the deed under Section 319.202, and Section 317.22 holds the instrument out of the record until the auditor stamp and endorsement appear. Section 317.111 asks for the preparer statement, which county standards ask to carry an individual name and title where a company name appears.

One signer, in a capacity

Section 5301.01 asks for the grantor signature and its acknowledgment before a notary public or another officer it names, and no subscribing witnesses. Section 11 takes the company name with the signer title, the signature block carries the printed name Section 317.11 wants beneath it, and one certificate follows with the content Section 147.542 lists. Sections 147.60 through 147.66 reach this deed through online notarization, and Section 10 recites that the signer acts for the company and not individually.
