Beaver County Quitclaim Deed (Corporation Grantor) Form

When record title stands in a corporation, the signature line belongs to an officer, and Utah law decides on what authority. This is the corporate grantor configuration of the Utah quitclaim deed: the corporation is the conveying party, one officer or agent signs in a stated office, and the conveyance takes the statutory form of Utah Code Section 57-1-13.

Where an officer's authority actually comes from

Utah locates it in the corporation's own governing documents. Under Utah Code Section 16-10a-831, each officer has the authority and performs the duties set out in the bylaws or, so far as consistent with them, the duties the board of directors prescribes. No title signs a Utah deed by force of law, so Section 7 of this form asks for the office held and the source relied on. Utah Code Section 16-10a-302 lists a corporate seal among a corporation's powers, which makes a seal a power here rather than a condition of a recordable deed, and this form draws none.

The conveyance an officer's signature does not finish

Utah Code Section 16-10a-1201 covers a sale or mortgage of corporate property that needs no shareholder approval. Section 16-10a-1202 covers the other case: a disposition of all, or substantially all, of the corporation's property, otherwise than in the usual and regular course of business, which takes a proposal by the board and a vote of the shareholders. No deed can police that question, and the authority blank records what the corporation relied on.

What the notary certifies about a corporate signer

The certificate follows the Statutory Short Form of Acknowledgment in Utah Code Section 57-2a-7, whose blank after the date takes the person acknowledging together with a title or representative capacity. Utah Code Section 57-2a-2 supplies the corporate meaning: the officer or agent acknowledged holding the position or title set out in the document, signed on behalf of the corporation by proper authority, and executed the instrument as the act of the corporation for the purpose stated in it.

One corporation, one signature block, one certificate

Section 1 names the corporation with the state under whose law it is incorporated. Section 7 carries three entries: the signing individual, the office held, and the source of authority, whether a bylaw provision, a dated board resolution, or a shareholder approval. Section 9 recites that the corporation acts through that officer in the stated office and not in an individual capacity, then quitclaims. Section 10 draws one signature line under the corporation's name with the printed name entry Utah Code Section 17-71-403 has the recorder index, then one certificate. A corporation clearing an interest an older instrument left standing in its name, a corporation conveying a parcel to its sole shareholder, and a corporation releasing what it holds back to the individuals who deeded the land in present the pattern this deed recites. The form is not arranged for two corporations conveying together, and it does not recite an individual owner signing beside the corporation.

The reach of the statutory words

Section 57-1-13 states the effect: a conveyance of all right, title, interest, and estate the grantor holds in the described premises, with its rights, privileges, and appurtenances, at the date of the conveyance. No covenant of title travels with it, so a lien, easement, or restriction of record stays with the parcel. Buyers searching for a quit claim deed from a corporation want that posture, and Utah adds an edge: Section 57-1-10 leaves quitclaim deeds outside the after acquired title rule, so an interest the corporation picks up later remains the corporation's.

At the Utah recording counter

Utah Code Section 57-3-105 makes two items conditions of recording a conveyance of title: the legal description, and the grantee names with the mailing address used for assessment and taxation. Both have numbered blanks. The layout answers the format menu a county may adopt under Section 17-71-402, with the tax identification number in the margin space subsection (5) allows. Section 17-71-407 prices the instrument at 40 dollars for up to ten legal descriptions, with 5 dollars added in second through sixth class counties, and no transfer tax accompanies an ordinary Utah deed.

The purchase delivers the fillable Utah form, a completed example prepared on a Tooele County pattern in which a corporation quitclaims a platted lot through its president, and a plain language guide covering every numbered section, the authority entries, the acknowledgment, the vesting options, and recording. The materials describe Utah statutes in general terms and are not legal advice.
