Marion County Quitclaim Deed (LLC Grantor) Form

The grantor on this Tennessee quitclaim deed is a company, so the signature line belongs to whoever may sign in the company's name. The form is built for that: one limited liability company, Tennessee or foreign, releasing whatever interest it holds in Tennessee real property, signed once, in the company's own name.

Two chapters decide who signs for the company

Tennessee's registration statute reaches an entity grantor through one phrase. T.C.A. Section 66-22-101 calls for the original signature of the maker, or of the natural person acting on behalf of the maker, acknowledged according to law. The company is the maker; a human being signs. Which human being comes from the Tennessee Revised Limited Liability Company Act. Under Section 48-249-402 each member is an agent of a member-managed company and each manager an agent of a manager-managed company, and signing in the company's name binds the company where the act is apparently for carrying on its ordinary course of business; an act outside that course binds the company only where Section 48-249-401 authorized it. In a director-managed company the president is the agent, not a member or director. Section 1 collects the management structure, Section 2 the signer's title.

A certificate the entity statute never printed

T.C.A. Section 66-22-108 prints acknowledgment certificates for instruments executed by a corporation and by a partnership. It names no limited liability company. Section 66-22-114 closes that distance: a certificate clearly evidencing the intent to authenticate, acknowledge, or verify is valid, and property rights are not affected by the inclusion or omission of specific words. The certificate here carries that entity substance written for a company, the officer certifying that the person appeared, acknowledged being the authorized signer of the company named as Grantor, the within named bargainor, and executed the deed by signing the company's name in that capacity.

One company, one signature, one certificate

The form recites one grantor, a limited liability company holding record title, and one grantee. Above the signature sits a line for the company's name, then one signature block with printed name, date, and capacity lines, then one acknowledgment certificate. Below the sworn statement of consideration or value comes a jurat for the person who swears that figure, since swearing and acknowledging are different notarial acts. A holding company releasing a remnant strip to the adjoining lot's owner, a company winding up and passing a parcel to a member, and a company clearing whatever interest it took through a chain of assignments, present the movements this deed recites. It is not set up for an individual grantor, for two companies conveying together, or for a signer whose authority comes from a partnership agreement or a trust instrument.

The tax counter a company deed passes

The register collects the realty transfer tax before the deed enters the records, at thirty seven cents per one hundred dollars of the consideration or the value, whichever is greater. A deed keeping the statutory quitclaim substance of Section 66-5-103(2), conveying only the grantor's interest, is measured on the actual consideration under Section 67-4-409(a)(4). The entity exemption is narrower than it first reads: Section 67-4-409(e) covers instruments made pursuant to mergers, consolidations, and transfers of substantially all of a corporation's assets in this state under plans of reorganization, and no general exemption reaches an ordinary transfer between a company and its members.

Entity questions the deed answers, and one it does not

Homestead has no part in this instrument. Section 26-2-301 attaches its exemption to an individual's principal place of residence, and a company is not an individual, so no spousal consent line appears on the form. The numbered sections do collect what a Tennessee register reads at intake: the derivation of title recital of Section 66-24-110, the owner and tax party entries of Section 66-24-114, the parcel identification number, the description source, the metropolitan map number and improved property notation, and the preparer statement. What the deed cannot settle is the signer's authority, which an examiner traces through the operating agreement, the secretary of state filings, and any written delegation under Section 48-249-401(e). Buyers search this one as an LLC quitclaim deed, or a quit claim deed from an LLC.

The purchase delivers the deed as a blank fillable PDF, a completed Montgomery County example, and a plain language guide covering the fourteen numbered sections, the signing authority provisions, and recording with the register of deeds. All of it describes Tennessee law in general terms for information, and none of it is legal advice.
