Section 10-8A-105

Execution, filing, and recording of statements.

(a) A statement may be filed in the office of the judge of probate in the county where the partnership has its chief executive office. If the chief executive office is located outside the State of Alabama the statement is filed with the Secretary of State. A certified copy of a statement that is filed in an office in another state may be filed in the office of the Secretary of State. Either filing has the effect provided in this chapter with respect to partnership property located in or transactions that occur in this state. In filing a statement with the judge of probate under the first sentence of this subsection, duplicate originals should be presented to the filing office, one of which is to be filed by the judge of probate, and the other of which will be forwarded by the judge of probate to the office of the Secretary of State, as provided below in subsection (g).

(b) A statement filed in the office of the judge of probate of the county in which the partnership has its chief executive office shall, without more, have the effect of a recorded statement under this chapter with respect to real property located in that county. A certified copy of a statement filed in the office of the Secretary of State and recorded in the office of an appropriate judge of probate, or a certified copy of a statement filed in the office of the judge of probate in the county in which the partnership has its chief executive office and recorded in the office of the judge of probate of another county, shall have the effect provided for recorded statements in this chapter with respect to real property located in the county in which the certified copy of the statement is recorded. Any statement recorded under the preceding sentence that is not a certified copy of a statement filed in the office of the Secretary of State, or of the judge of probate in the county where the partnership has its chief executive office, does not have the effect provided for recorded statements in this chapter.

(c) Except as specifically provided otherwise in this chapter, a statement filed by a partnership must be executed by at least two partners. Other statements must be executed by a partner or other person authorized by this chapter. An individual who executes a statement as, or on behalf of, a partner or other person named as a partner in a statement shall personally declare under penalty of perjury that the contents of the statement are accurate.

(d) Except as specifically provided otherwise in this chapter, a person authorized by this chapter to file a statement may amend or cancel the statement by filing an amendment or cancellation that names the partnership, identifies the statement, and states the substance of the amendment or cancellation.

(e) A person who files a statement pursuant to this section shall promptly send a copy of the statement to every nonfiling partner and to any other person named as a partner in the statement. Failure to send a copy of a statement to a partner or other person does not limit the effectiveness of the statement as to a person not a partner.

(f) The judge of probate or the Secretary of State, as the case may be, may collect a fee for filing or providing a certified copy of a statement. The office of the judge of probate may collect a fee for recording a statement.

(g) In the case of any statement filed with the office of the judge of probate in the county where the partnership has its chief executive office, as permitted under subsection (a), the judge of probate shall within 10 days transmit one of the duplicate originals filed with him to the office of the Secretary of State.
