Thanks. I just came from that page where I didn't see anything specificvis à vis witnesses and corporation exclusions. Thus I came here.Read the statute:

If that doesn't answer your question, consult an attorney.
An entity that is organized under state law as a limited liability company (LLC) is not a corporation regardless of the fact that it has made an election to be taxed under subchapter S of the Internal Revenue Code (IRC), i.e. treated for tax purposes as a S corporation. Thus, it cannot have a "corporate stamp" because it is not, in fact, a corporation. It is a LLC. So rules in the state statute that are specific to only corporations will not help you. You need rules that would apply to LLCs.What is the name of your state? Florida.
Is an LLC filing as an S-Corp able to avoid the witness requirement on Deeds in Florida if the Grantor or Grantee is the CEO and affixes the corporate stamp?
The other thread was linked to provide the members here with some additional information.Thanks Quincy. Why the reference link to the other thread?
Taxing Matters' response ends my inquiry, so thanks to them. It's a one-person S-Corp, but it's an S-Corp for tax purposes only. Have to dredge up witnesses now for every deed. It's a PITA, but will pay the bills.Tax filing status (S Corp) has nothing whatsoever to do with the ownership of the property. There's no exception to the witness requirement, a notary (or one of the other listed officers of the court) must witness the execution of the conveyance.
You haven't mentioned enough information about the LLC for just to tell who must sign. Is there more than one member? Who is the manager of the LLC?
Yes, exactly. The provisions of F.S. § 692.01 only mentions corporations as being eligible to use that procedure and since LLCs are not corporations it appears that a LLC may not use that method to convey property.Since we all agree the LLC is not a Corp, that approach is moot.
