Questions answered? Let's get started!

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.

As always, amazing forms and information. A must have for anyone doing it themselves. Everything is available to make it happen but if you need a lot of hand holding you might want to look into a more full service option.

Your documents were very helpful. I went ahead and filled in all the info for the Release of Lien document. It was easy to do with your example. I had all the necessary info such as plot numbers, etc. for the property and everything fit nicely onto the document. It has been notorized and mailed. My grandparents' Victorian home has new owners who love it and has paid it off. Yeah!!!

Quick and easy to use. I was able to download the Transfer on Death Deed form to my computer so that I can read through and fill them out at a later time. That made it convenient and "no pressure". The complimentary guide and completed example that came with the form was also very helpful.

why not word format??

Reply from Staff

Good question. There are many reasons, we'll touch on a few. For the end user (you) Adobe Reader is free, Word is not. PDF is the portable document standard, Word is a decent word processor. A portable document format (PDF) maintains document formatting such as margins and font size which is very important to legal documents, Word does not. Have a wonderful day.
