Special Warranty Deed — SPK Enterprises → IA Franklin LLC

First page of Special Warranty Deed reception 20210116998, 28 December 2021, SPK Enterprises LLC to IA Franklin LLC, consideration $2,025,000.
SWD · recpt #20210116998 · recorded 12/29/2021 13:58:01 · consideration $2,025,000 · CO doc fee $202.50 (verifies price at $0.01/$100) · signed by Allen Schultz, Manager · closed by Land Title Guarantee Company

The deed is the keystone evidence. The visible elements that matter:

Statement of Authority — IA Franklin LLC

First page of Statement of Authority reception 20210116996, 29 December 2021, IA Franklin LLC, signed by Michael D. Schutte of Investors Associated LLP.
SOA per §38-30-172 CRS · recpt #20210116996 · recorded 12/29/2021 13:58:01 · doc fee $18.00 · signed by Michael D. Schutte (Pres & Managing Partner, Investors Associated LLP) · notarised in Waukesha County WI by Patrick F. Carroll

What this document does, in plain language: it tells anyone who later inspects title that Investors Associated, LLP — as Member of IA Franklin, LLC — has the unlimited authority to sign instruments conveying, encumbering, or otherwise affecting the property on the LLC’s behalf. Without this filing on record, IA Franklin LLC would have been functionally illiquid — no buyer could trust a future signature.

It is the standard companion document to a closing, prepared on Land Title’s “Form 884” (closing/recordings/soa.html, ref 25193141 / 39811999) — the matching closing-file reference makes clear the SOA and the SWD were filed as a single closing packet.

Deed of Trust — IA LLP → First-Citizens Bank (for context)

First page of Deed of Trust reception 20190066585, 28 October 2019, Investors Associated LLP to First-Citizens Bank, $3.2 million maximum principal, 813 E Harmony Rd Fort Collins.
DoT · recpt #20190066585 · recorded 10/28/2019 · Maximum principal $3,200,000 · secures 813 E HARMONY RD, FORT COLLINS CO 80525 (tax IDs R1415859 & R1547569) · beneficiary First-Citizens Bank & Trust Co, Raleigh NC

Worth showing because it confirms IA has at least one other Colorado holding beyond the two listed on their public portfolio page (Loveland 71st and Earhart), and demonstrates the IA-side banking relationship (First-Citizens, North Carolina).

Case 5Bassett v. IA Canal Drive LLC, 2025CV0303402025-05-07Lis Pendens recorded 7 May 2025 as Larimer Inst 20250019808; Order recorded 15 May 2026 as Larimer Inst 20260023133; 50-year family easement dispute (Bassett-Altergott-Melton family v. an IA-LLP single-asset shell — IA Canal Drive LLC, acquired 2024-08-19 via SWD from Jorgensen Spencer R, ENT Credit Union financing). Classified as a boundary/easement dispute, not a corruption case — but the first publicly-named state-court litigation against any IA-LLP single-asset shell in Colorado, and the docket is the most direct public-record source for IA-LLP’s CO defense counsel of record (verification target — pull defense-counsel name and cross-reference against the Reinhart Denver shareholder roster per the Players sidebar).

The Recorder image gate

Larimer County’s Landmark Web Recorder portal (records.larimer.org/landmarkweb) exposes search and metadata without authentication but requires a free registered account (with CAPTCHA + email verification) to view document images. The same Pioneer Landmark Web software is deployed by Jefferson County, Alabama (landmarkweb.jccal.org) without the image gate — demonstrating that the restriction is a per-deployment configuration choice, not a software limitation. The images embedded above were extracted after the report’s author authenticated.
