Transferring property to another person is a simple procedure in Oregon state. A quit claim deed can be completed to give your share of property to someone else. It does not guarantee that the title is free of encumbrances or that you even own the property in the first place. However, once you file a quit claim deed properly, you are no longer the owner, and the other person your previous rights to the real estate. Therefore, if your property is located in Oregon state, obtain legal advice before signing a quit claim deed for your house.
Step
Place your name on the quit claim deed as the grantor of the property. Include all owners if no share will be retained by any of the names on title.
Step
Write the name of the person who is receiving the property in the space for the grantee. Include the address where the deed can be mailed after filing.
Step
Write the amount of money paid for the property, if any, as a consideration for the transfer. If your quit claim transaction does not include the exchange of funds, write a zero.
Step
Add the address and complete legal description of the real estate being transferred. You can find this information on your property tax bill or visit the county recorder's office and ask for it.
Step
Sign and date the quit claim deed in the presence of a notary public, who formally witnesses your signature. All grantors must sign, but the grantee is not required to do so.
Step
File your deed at the Oregon county recorder's office in the jurisdiction where the real estate is located.
Step
Pay the appropriate fees to complete the transaction. The amount required varies by Oregon county. However, as of this publication date, filing fees are under $50 for the first page and approximately $5 for each subsequent page, if any.
