Use of a Land Sale Contract in Oregon
1. Structure of the Contract
• Buyer (Purchaser): Takes equitable title immediately, gets possession, and agrees to pay the purchase price in installments.
• Seller: Retains legal title until the contract is fully paid.
This is different from a mortgage or trust deed, where title passes to the buyer at closing and the lender only has a lien.

2. The Forfeiture Remedy
Under Oregon law, if the buyer defaults, the seller may elect forfeiture instead of judicial foreclosure. Forfeiture means:
• The contract is canceled;
• The buyer’s interest is terminated;
• The underlying debt is extinguished (the seller can’t sue for deficiency);
• The seller keeps all prior payments (as liquidated damages);
• The buyer loses possession and improvements revert to the seller.
This is a nonjudicial process, It’s defined in ORS 93.905 and governed by ORS 93.905–93.945. Seller may also choose judicial foreclosure, similar to foreclosing a mortgage.

3. Statutory Safeguards for Buyers
• ORS 93.910: Seller cannot enforce forfeiture unless a statutory notice of default is served.
• ORS 93.915: Buyer gets a right to cure (usually 60–120 days depending on how much of the price is already paid). Cure requires paying arrears, costs, and small capped attorney’s fees.
• ORS 93.930: If not cured, seller records an affidavit of forfeiture, which legally ends the buyer’s rights.
• ORS 93.935 & 93.940: Subordinate lienholders must also get notice and have the right to cure to protect their interests.

4. Why Use a Land Sale Contract in Oregon?
• For sellers:
o Keeps legal title until fully paid.
o Faster and less expensive than judicial foreclosure (if default occurs).
o Retains all buyer’s payments if forfeiture happens.

• For buyers:
o Can purchase property without a bank loan.
o Gain equitable ownership and possession upfront.
o Sometimes lower upfront cost compared to conventional financing.

Everything I needed including detailed instructions to transfer the deed on my house from me alone to me and my wife as joint owners with right of survivorship. Formatting was compliant and blanks for all information required were provided in all the right places. 5 stars

Excellent - no reservations. I used them on a Sunday and had my info on Monday. Not only did they execute the order flawlessly, the fixed my screw up* immediately. *I hit refresh before the "secured" page transmitted, so I created (2) two orders of the same item.

Thanks for the review Paul, glad you were happy with the service and staff. Our staff is pretty good at catching the few duplicate orders that get through.

I have an apple phone. I could not fill in the form to pay because apple phones do not have a dash that can be used when the field requires a phone number with a dash. I had to borrow an android phone in which the telephone keypad had a dash that could be used. It was easy to pay using an android phone but impossible to pay using an apple phone. Remove the requirement for dashes to allow apple phones to use this service.

The form and instructions were easy enough to follow if you had all the information.rnThe only drawback to the form was the length of text allowed for the name of the document (#4). The form self populates in multiple locations but when printed truncated the name if too many characters were used. I kept having to update the name of the document to allow for proper printing.
