Pushmataha County Quitclaim Deed (Corporation Grantor) Form

Oklahoma does not leave it to the bylaws to say who may sign a corporation's deed. Title 16, Section 93 names the offices, and this quitclaim deed is arranged around that list: Section 1 names the grantor corporation and its state of incorporation, Section 2 takes the signer's name and office, Section 3 the corporate action relied on, and Section 14 carries the corporation's name above one signature line. The grantee takes whatever the corporation has, and no assurance about it, under the quitclaim pattern of 16 O.S. Sections 18 and 41.

A closed list of offices

Section 93 provides that a deed affecting real estate made by a corporation must have the corporation's name subscribed by an attorney in fact, president, vice-president, chairman or vice-chairman of the board of directors. Five offices, plus mayor for a municipal corporation under the acknowledgment section. A secretary or a treasurer is not among them, which is why Oklahoma corporate conveyances often ride on a power of attorney recorded under 16 O.S. Section 20 before the attorney-in-fact deed is received for record. Section 2 asks for the office by name for that reason: the entry is a statutory qualification, not a courtesy title.

The corporation's own certificate

Corporations have their own acknowledgment section in Oklahoma: under 16 O.S. Section 95, an instrument executed by a corporation is acknowledged by the officer or attorney in fact who subscribed the corporate name, and the certificate may follow the Uniform Law on Notarial Acts or the corporation form printed in that section. This deed prints the Section 95 form, so the certificate recites that the appearer is the identical person who subscribed the name of the maker of the instrument, and that the act was the free and voluntary act and deed of the officer and of the corporation. One person signs, so one certificate follows, under the officer's seal as 16 O.S. Section 35 requires.

An entity grantor, and a constitution that watches the clock

Article XXII, Section 2 of the Oklahoma Constitution restricts corporate dealing in real estate, then lets a corporation take title on foreclosure of its mortgages or in collecting debts, on the condition that it not hold that real estate longer than seven years. Section 8, the source-of-title entry, is where that clock shows in the record. A corporation deeding out a parcel it took by sheriff's deed while collecting a debt, and a subsidiary deeding a parcel to its parent, present the pattern this deed recites. No spouse signs and no marital statement appears: the homestead subscription rule of 16 O.S. Section 4 runs to husband and wife, and a corporation has neither.

Release, not promise

The granting phrase carries the statutory words, do hereby quitclaim, grant, bargain, sell and convey, and leaves out the warranty language Section 41 omits. Section 18 fixes the reach, all the right, title, and interest of the maker in the premises, and no covenant of 16 O.S. Section 19 arises, so the corporation's mortgage stays put along with the easements, plat restrictions, judgment liens, and severed minerals. Section 9 lists such matters for information and says on the deed's face that a listing or omission creates no warranty. Shoppers searching a corporate quit claim deed or quick claim deed in Oklahoma are reading about this instrument; the statutes spell it quitclaim.

Two stamp paragraphs written for corporations

Documentary stamp tax attaches under 68 O.S. Section 3201 above $100 of consideration or value, at 75 cents per $500, and Section 10 takes the tax or the exemption paragraph. Two paragraphs of 68 O.S. Section 3202 are corporate on their face: paragraph 9 reaches deeds made pursuant to mergers of partnerships, limited liability companies or corporations, and paragraph 10 reaches a deed by a subsidiary corporation to its parent for no consideration other than cancellation or surrender of the subsidiary's stock. Section 11 answers 60 O.S. Section 121, the affidavit gate that keeps a covered deed off the record, and on this deed that affidavit belongs to the grantee rather than to the corporation. Pages follow 19 O.S. Section 298 as SB57 amended it in 2024: two inch top margins on every page.
