Create an Oregon Quit Claim Deed with our customizable template!
A quitclaim deed in the state of Oregon is a document that legally transfers property from one person to another. This form of property transfer comes with no guarantees as to whether the property has a clear title and that the seller has the legal authority to sell it.
Generally, a quitclaim deed is used to transfer property interests between family members, but it can also be used for expeditious property transfers. It is highly recommended that a buyer conduct a thorough title search on the property to ensure that it is free of encumbrances before proceeding with a quitclaim deed transaction.
If you instead want to transfer property in a way that protects the new property owner, you should instead use another type of deed, such as a general warranty deed or special warranty deed. If you are unsure what type of property deed to use, you should seek legal advice.
Oregon quitclaim deed laws are codified at Oregon Revised Statutes 93.865.
Signing - The selling party must sign the quitclaim deed in front of a Notary Public (ORS 93.410).
Recording - Once notarized, the quitclaim deed must be filed with the County Court Clerk’s Office in the jurisdiction in which the property is located, along with any adjoining fees.
Additional Documents - Oregon state law requires the seller to sign a disclaimer, stating that they fully understand what they are signing (ORS 93.410).
