Oregon Quitclaim Deed from Husband and Wife to an Individual
What this document covers
The Quitclaim Deed from Husband and Wife to an Individual is a legal document that allows a married couple (the grantors) to transfer ownership of real property to an individual (the grantee). Unlike other property transfer methods, a quitclaim deed does not guarantee that the title is clear; it simply conveys whatever interest the grantors have in the property. This form is particularly useful for transfers between family members or in informal transactions where trust exists between parties.
Main sections of this form
- Names and addresses of the grantors and grantee.
- Description of the property being transferred.
- Specification of tax proration responsibilities.
- Indication of whether the property is part of the homestead.
- Notary acknowledgment section for legal validation.
Common use cases
This quitclaim deed is commonly used when a husband and wife wish to transfer property to a single person.

It is most suitable when trust exists between the parties, as it does not guarantee a clean title.
