Fremont County Quitclaim Deed (Corporation Grantor) Form

Nobody doubts that a Wyoming corporation can convey its land. The open question on a corporate deed is which human being signs for it, and the answer sits in a minute book no title examiner can look up. This Wyoming quitclaim deed is configured for that grantor side: a corporation conveys and quitclaims the interest it holds, and numbered blanks carry the state of incorporation, the authorizing bylaw provision or board resolution, and the office each signing officer holds.

Where a Wyoming corporation's signing power comes from

Wyoming Statutes 17-16-302(a) hands a corporation, unless its articles provide otherwise, the same powers as an individual to carry out its business, paragraph (v) reaching the sale, conveyance, mortgage, and lease of its property. The power is the corporation's; only the hand is an officer's. Wyoming Statutes 17-16-840(a) puts officer positions in the bylaws or in a board appointment made under them, and Wyoming Statutes 17-16-206(c) supplies a president, a secretary, and a treasurer for a corporation that adopted no bylaws. Wyoming gives a corporation no public filing that vouches for an officer in advance, unlike the statement of authority a limited liability company may file under Wyoming Statutes 17-29-302, so Section 2 puts the authorizing record and its date on the deed. A third blank there records the shareholder side: Wyoming Statutes 17-16-1201 covers dispositions that need no shareholder vote, while Wyoming Statutes 17-16-1202(a) conditions one on shareholder approval where it would leave the corporation without a significant continuing business activity. A dissolved corporation still qualifies, Wyoming Statutes 17-16-1405(a) keeping it in existence to wind up and dispose of properties.

A transfer of position, not a promise about it

The verbs come from the statutory form at Wyoming Statutes 34-2-104, conveys and quitclaims, and Wyoming Statutes 34-2-105 says how far they reach: rights held at delivery, nothing gained later unless added words say so. Title covenants are absent by design and Wyoming Statutes 34-1-135 implies none, so a mortgage, a judgment lien, an easement, and minerals severed two owners ago all outlive a closing run on a corporate quitclaim deed, also searched as a quit claim deed from a corporation.

One corporation, two officer blocks, no spouse line

Section 1 identifies the corporation and where it was incorporated, Section 3 takes each grantee with the mailing address Wyoming Statutes 34-1-119(a) requires before recording, and Section 4 takes the words fixing how co-grantees hold, survivorship arising in Wyoming only when a deed says so. The conveyance section transfers in the statutory words, prints the homestead release phrasing Wyoming Statutes 34-2-121 states in substance, and recites that each signer acts for the corporation in the office beside that signature. Two blocks follow, each with an office held line above its signature and printed name lines, and under each sits a certificate in the Wyoming Statutes 32-3-115 short form for a signer acknowledging in a representative capacity, so a president and a secretary can appear before separate officers three days apart, as the example does. No spouse line appears: Wyoming's joinder rule guards a homestead exemption that Wyoming Statutes 1-20-101 and 1-20-102 give to a resident in occupancy, which is not a posture a corporation can take. A board approved lot sale in the corporation's name, a parcel distributed to a shareholder, and a corporation named in a decades old vesting deed passing whatever that deed left it are the corporate grantor situations this form recites. Its blanks describe no owner signing personally, no company or trust as the conveying party, and no instrument that waits for a death.

At the Wyoming recording counter

Filing happens with the county clerk where the land sits. One statewide schedule prices it: Wyoming Statutes 18-3-402(a)(xvi) charges $12 for a first page and $3 per page beyond, plus add ons past five surnames or ten tracts. Wyoming asks for no transfer tax and no documentary stamp. The counter does insist on the sworn Statement of Consideration, a confidential State Board of Equalization form the grantee swears to, prepared apart from this package; Wyoming Statutes 34-1-142(b) makes it a precondition of acceptance without touching the deed's effect between the parties.

Three files arrive with the purchase: the deed as a fillable PDF laid out for the standards Wyoming's largest county clerks publish, the same deed completed for a Park County sale by a Wyoming corporation, and a guide covering the eleven sections, the authority statutes, and the recording steps. The materials are informational and are not legal advice.
