Oregon Quitclaim Deed from Individual to Individual
What this document covers
This Quitclaim Deed from Individual to Individual is a legal document used to transfer property between two individuals. Unlike a warranty deed, this form does not guarantee that the title is clear but simply conveys the interest the Grantor has in the property to the Grantee. It is essential for situations where the Grantor wants to relinquish their rights to the property without making promises about its condition or title.
Key components of this form
- Grantor and Grantee Information: Names and addresses of the individuals involved in the property transfer.
- Property Description: A detailed description of the property being transferred.
- Reservation Clause: A statement indicating that certain rights, such as mineral rights, are reserved by the Grantor.
- Tax Proration Section: Details on how taxes for the property will be divided between the parties.
- Signatures: Required signatures of both the Grantor and Grantee to validate the transfer.
Common use cases
This Quitclaim Deed should be used when one individual wants to transfer their ownership or interest in a property to another individual. This may occur in various scenarios such as family transfers, divorce settlements, or when one party is relinquishing their claim on the property without a sale. It is particularly useful when the individuals trust each other and a more comprehensive title guarantee is unnecessary.
