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

Partnership land stands in the Oregon record in one of three ways, and the statute routes the signature accordingly. Under ORS 67.095(1)(a), property held in the name of the partnership may be transferred by an instrument of transfer executed by a partner in the name of the partnership. This Oregon quitclaim deed is drawn on that pattern: one partnership or limited partnership as Grantor, one partner signing for it.

Where the title stands decides who signs

ORS 67.050 treats a partnership as an entity distinct from its partners, and ORS 67.060 makes property acquired by a partnership the property of the partnership rather than of the partners individually. Entity ownership can still appear in the records under a partner's own name, which is why ORS 67.095(1) sets out three patterns. Title in the partnership name moves by a partner's signature in that name; title standing in partners' names moves by an instrument executed by the persons in whose name it is held. Section 6 records the instrument that vested title in the partnership name.

Signing power, and the authority behind it

ORS 67.090(1) makes each partner an agent of the partnership, and an act of a partner, the execution of an instrument in the partnership name included, binds the partnership when it is for apparently carrying on the partnership business in the ordinary course, unless the partner lacked authority and the person dealing with the partner knew of it. Internally, ORS 67.140 leaves an ordinary course matter to a majority of the partners and takes the consent of all for an act outside that course. Section 7 records the authorizing action; the consent stays in the partnership's records.

The partnership and limited partnership configuration

Section 1 takes the partnership name as the public record carries it, with the type of partnership and the state of organization on a second blank, which separates it from a similarly named partnership formed elsewhere. An Oregon limited partnership reads its name from the certificate filed under ORS 70.075, which carries the words limited partnership without abbreviation under ORS 70.010(1)(a). Section 10 prints the partnership name above one signature line and takes the title of the signer, closing with one acknowledgment certificate in the representative capacity wording of ORS 194.285: the individual, the authority held, and the party on whose behalf the record was executed. That signature ordinarily belongs to a general partner on a limited partnership deed, under the powers ORS 70.185(1) carries. A partnership distributing a parcel to a partner in winding up, and a partnership releasing a doubtful interest that clouds a neighboring title, present the single signature this deed recites. A corporation, a limited liability company, an individual owner, a trustee, and an attorney in fact each state a different authority and take wording this form does not draw.

What releases and quitclaims measures

ORS 93.865 measures the operative words against what the partnership actually holds: legal or equitable title at the date of the deed passes, a later acquisition does not follow it, no covenant of title is given, and no estoppel arises. ORS 93.110 adds that a quit claim deed passes every estate a grantor could lawfully convey. Partnership holdings are often fractional by design, and a fraction is exactly what such a deed moves; a trust deed, a judgment lien, and a recorded easement survive it.

Page one, then the recording counter

Page one carries a fixed list under ORS 205.234, and the form is laid out to it below a two inch strip left blank for the clerk's label: what the transaction is called, who the parties are, where the recorded original goes afterward, the dollar figure ORS 93.030 calls for, and the ORS 93.260 sentence directing property tax statements. Capitals carry the ORS 93.040 land use statements in the body. Paper and type size answer to ORS 205.232, and this form prints at twelve point on letter stock. The clerk of the county holding the land takes the filing, and waiting costs priority under ORS 93.640. Fee schedules run county by county, several revised on July 1, 2026 once 2025 legislation lifted the cap on the Public Land Corner Preservation fee.
