What Is an Oregon Quitclaim Deed?

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.
