Utah Quitclaim Deed (Partnership or Limited Partnership Grantor)

A single signature in the partnership's own name carries a Utah parcel out of a partnership. This is the partnership configuration of the Utah quitclaim deed: a general or limited partnership conveys, one individual signs for it, and the deed performs the statutory act of Utah Code Section 57-1-13, quitclaims, without covenant of title.

The statute behind that one signature

Utah Code Section 48-1d-302(1)(a) is the rule this deed is built on: subject to the effect of a statement of partnership authority under Section 48-1d-303, partnership property held in the name of the partnership may be transferred by an instrument of transfer executed by a partner in the partnership name. Section 48-1d-204 treats property acquired in the partnership's name as partnership property. One signature line, not a line per partner, is what that statute calls for.

Ordinary course, and the line past it

Under Utah Code Section 48-1d-301, each partner is an agent of the partnership, and signing in the partnership name for apparently carrying on its ordinary course activities binds the partnership unless the other side knew or had notice authority was lacking. An act outside that course binds only when actually authorized, and Section 48-1d-402(5) adds that such an act takes the consent of all partners. A limited partnership answers to the parallel pair in Section 48-2e-402(1) and (2), and Section 48-2e-302(1) provides that a limited partner is not an agent solely by being one.

One partnership, one signer, three authority entries

Section 1 names the partnership as record title reads, with its type and state of organization. Section 7 carries what a partnership signature needs: the individual signing, that individual's capacity, and the source of authority relied on, whether a partnership agreement provision, a written consent of the partners, or a filed statement. Section 9 recites that the partnership acts through that individual in the stated capacity, not in the individual's own right, then quitclaims. Section 10 draws one signature block, with the printed name line Utah Code Section 17-71-403 has the recorder index, and one certificate.

A partnership conveying its record interest to the entity that carried on the business after a conversion, a limited partnership releasing a co-investment interest to the co-tenant consolidating the parcel, and a partnership whose name still carries an interest after the business was sold present the pattern this deed recites. Where title stands in the individual partners' names instead, Section 48-1d-302(1)(b) and (1)(c) route the conveyance through the persons in whose names it is held, and the form does not recite two partnerships conveying together.

A partnership filing that reaches the land records

Utah Code Section 48-1d-303 lets a partnership file a statement of partnership authority with the Division of Corporations and Commercial Code, stating the authority, or its limits, of a position or a named person to execute an instrument transferring real property held in the partnership name. Its real property effect turns on recording a certified copy where transfers of that property are recorded, and such a statement is filed separately, outside this package.

What the notary certifies about a partnership signer

The certificate tracks the Statutory Short Form of Acknowledgment of Utah Code Section 57-2a-7, whose blank after the date takes the person acknowledging plus a representative capacity. Section 57-2a-2 gives that capacity its partnership meaning: the partner or agent acknowledged signing for the partnership by proper authority and executing the instrument as the act of the partnership.

At the Utah recording counter

A quit claim deed, as buyers often search it, promises nothing about what it moves, and Utah Code Section 57-1-10(2) keeps quitclaim deeds outside the after acquired title rule, so an interest the partnership picks up later stays with the partnership. Section 57-3-105 conditions recording on a legal description and on grantee names with the address for valuation and tax notices; both have blanks. The page answers the format menu of Section 17-71-402, with the parcel number in the margin space subsection (5) allows. Utah charges no transfer tax and prices the document, not the page: 40 dollars for up to ten legal descriptions under Section 17-71-407, plus the 5 dollar addition several counties collect.

The purchase delivers the fillable Utah form, a completed example on a Box Elder County pattern where a limited partnership quitclaims through its general partner, and a plain language guide covering the numbered sections, the authority entries, the notarization, the grantee vesting options, and recording. The materials describe Utah statutes in general terms and are not legal advice.
