Oregon Quitclaim Deed - Individual to Two Individuals
Understanding this form
The Quitclaim Deed - Individual to Two Individuals is a legal document used to transfer ownership of property from one individual (the grantor) to two individuals (the grantees), typically a married couple. Unlike warranty deeds, a quitclaim deed does not guarantee that the grantor holds valid title to the property, making it a simpler but less secure option. This form allows the grantees to assume joint ownership, which can be beneficial for various legal and financial purposes.

FAQ

In order to reverse this type of transfer, it would require your spouse to cooperate and assist in adding your name back to the title.

A quitclaim deed affects ownership and the name on the deed, not the mortgage. Because quitclaim deeds expose the grantee to certain risks, they are most often used between family members and where there is no exchange of money.Quitclaim deeds transfer title but do not affect mortgages.
A quitclaim deed transfers title but makes no promises at all about the owner's title.A person who signs a quitclaim deed to transfer property they do not own results in no title at all being transferred since there is no actual ownership interest. The quitclaim deed only transfers the type of title you own.
The drawback, quite simply, is that quitclaim deeds offer the grantee/recipient no protection or guarantees whatsoever about the property or their ownership of it. Maybe the grantor did not own the property at all, or maybe they only had partial ownership.
