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

A partnership can own West Virginia land with no public record of who may sign it away. This West Virginia quitclaim deed is arranged around that fact: the partnership itself is the named grantor, one partner signs in the partnership name, and Section 2 collects the signing partner, the capacity, the authority relied on, and the name in which record title stands, ahead of the release words.

Which partner may sign, and where that answer lives

W. Va. Code Section 47B-2-1 makes a partnership an entity distinct from its partners, and Section 47B-2-2 lets one exist the moment two or more persons carry on a business for profit as co-owners. Under Section 47B-3-1 each partner is an agent of the partnership for its business, and a partner's execution of an instrument in the partnership name binds the partnership where the act apparently carries on the ordinary course of that business. Section 47B-4-1(j) allocates the decision inside the firm: a majority decides an ordinary course matter, and an act outside that course takes the consent of all of the partners. A limited partnership arrives at the same rules through Section 47-9-24, which hands a general partner the powers of a partner in a partnership without limited partners.

Putting the answer in the land records

Section 47B-3-3 lets a partnership file a statement of partnership authority naming the partners authorized to execute an instrument transferring real property held in the partnership name. A certified copy recorded where transfers of that property are recorded is conclusive for a person giving value without knowledge to the contrary, and a recorded limitation is deemed known. The statement is canceled by operation of law five years after filing, so its date matters. Section 47B-3-2 moves property held in the partnership name by an instrument a partner executes in that name, the path this form draws; property standing in partners' own names travels through the persons who hold it.

A release, never a promise

Section 36-3-7 gives release words their effect: a deed stating that the grantor releases to the grantee all claims upon the land quitclaims every right, title, and interest the grantor holds at law or in equity. Section 9 sets those words beside a printed line disclaiming any covenant or warranty of title. No covenant word from chapter 36, article 4 appears, so recorded liens, easements, and mineral reservations pass through it intact.

Why a partnership gift reaches the clerk on two signatures

Since July 11, 2025, Section 39-1-2(b)(2) has kept a quitclaim deed made without consideration out of the record unless the grantee has also signed and acknowledged it, or two witnesses have proved it as to the grantee before the county clerk, and a deed recorded against that rule is void. The exceptions listed there are a transfer on death deed and close family transfers between individuals, so a partnership release passing no consideration falls outside all of them. Section 11 draws that second signature line with a certificate of its own, and it stays blank where consideration passes.

What the form recites, and what it leaves out

Section 1 takes the partnership by name, type, and organizing state, reaching general, limited, and registered limited liability partnerships alike. A general partnership releasing a parcel to a buyer taking title without covenants, a limited partnership acting through the general partner named in its certificate, and a partnership releasing a residual interest standing in its own name all present the partnership grantor pattern this deed recites. Two partnerships signing one instrument, an individual owner, a company, a trustee, or a personal representative each execute through architecture this form does not draw. Nothing on the page waits for a partner's spouse, dower and curtesy having been abolished by Section 43-1-1.

The figure the clerk reads

Section 11-22-6 puts a declaration of consideration or value on a taxable instrument, and Section 12 prints it: an amount paid, a true and actual value where none was, and any Section 11-22-1 exemption. The excise runs $1.10 for each $500 at the state level, a county component above it, and $20 into the Affordable Housing Fund where consideration changes hands. Partnership mergers and conversions sit among the transactions Section 11-22-1 leaves outside the tax.
