Garfield County Quitclaim Deed (LLC Grantor) Form

A Utah quitclaim deed built for a company grantor: the deed names a limited liability company as the conveying party, collects the name and title of the individual who signs for it, and passes the company's present interest in the parcel by the operative word Section 57-1-13 of the Utah Code supplies: quitclaims. No title promise comes with it.

Who signs when the owner is a company

A company cannot appear before a notary; someone appears for it, and Utah's limited liability company act decides who. Utah Code Section 48-3a-407(1) treats a company as member-managed unless its operating agreement expressly provides for manager management, while Section 48-3a-407(3)(a) leaves a manager-managed company's decisions to its manager or managers. Section 48-3a-301(1) adds the rule that catches people out: a member is not an agent of the company solely by being a member. And under Sections 48-3a-407(2)(d) and 48-3a-407(3)(c)(ii), an act outside the ordinary course of the company's activities and affairs takes the consent of all members.

The section that carries the authority

Section 4 of the form is where that law meets the page. One blank names the individual signing for the company, a second states that person's title or capacity, and a third states the source of authority relied on: a provision of the operating agreement, a written consent of the members or managers, or a statement of authority. The conveyance language then states that the signer acts for the company in the stated capacity and not individually. The authority itself lives in the company's own records and in the statute.

A filing Utah lets a company put in the land records

Under Utah Code Section 48-3a-302, a company may file a statement of authority with the Division of Corporations and Commercial Code setting out the authority, or its limits, of a position or a named person to execute an instrument transferring real property held in the company name. Subsection (6) makes an effective grant conclusive in favor of someone giving value in reliance on it without knowledge to the contrary, once a certified copy is recorded where transfers of that property are recorded. Such a statement is prepared and recorded separately and is not part of this package.

What quitclaim words move

A quitclaim deed, often searched as a quit claim deed, promises nothing about what it moves: Section 57-1-13 passes the grantor's right, title, interest, and estate at the date of the conveyance, and supplies no covenant of title. Utah then draws a line its warranty forms never need, because Section 57-1-10(2) keeps quitclaim deeds outside the after acquired title rule, so an interest the company picks up afterward stays with the company. A parcel distributed to members during winding up, a transfer between affiliated companies, and a remnant strip released to an adjoining owner all present the pattern this deed recites. The form is not arranged for two companies conveying together, and it does not recite an owner signing personally.

One signer, one certificate, and a capacity blank

One signature line, one printed name line under it, the entry the recorder indexes under Utah Code Section 17-71-403, and one notarial certificate follow the conveyance language. The certificate tracks Utah's Statutory Short Form of Acknowledgment, Section 57-2a-7, which leaves room after the date for the person acknowledging plus any title or representative capacity. Because a company signer's entry names an individual, an office, and a company, that blank runs two lines wide instead of one.

At the county recorder

Utah prices the document, not the page: Section 17-71-407 sets $40 for a deed carrying up to ten legal descriptions, plus a $5 add-on in second through sixth class counties, which is why many county schedules publish $45; no transfer tax accompanies an ordinary deed. Section 57-3-105 attaches two content conditions, the legal description and the grantee names with the mailing address used for assessment and taxation. Layout follows what Section 17-71-402 permits a county to require after public notice: white letter paper, black one sided text, inch margins, a page one caption, a clear top right corner for the recorder's stamp, and the parcel number in the margin.

The purchase delivers the fillable Utah form, a completed example prepared on a Cache County fact pattern where a company conveys a platted lot through its manager, and a plain language guide covering the numbered sections, the authority entries, the notarization, the vesting choices, and recording. Everything in the package describes Utah statutes in general terms and is not legal advice.
