Coos County Quitclaim Deed Form

An Oregon quitclaim deed signed by one individual carries a single signature line and a single notary acknowledgment: one grantor releases whatever interest that grantor holds in the property, and the deed asks nothing more of anyone. This form prepares that instrument under ORS 93.865 for one individual grantor conveying Oregon real property, with a completed example and a plain language guide.

Releases and quitclaims: what the operative words carry

Oregon sorts its deeds by their operative words. A deed that releases and quitclaims takes the effect ORS 93.865 assigns to it: it conveys whatever title or interest, legal or equitable, the grantor has at the date of the deed, and nothing else. The quitclaim form carries no covenant or warranty of title, passes no title the grantor acquires later, and does not operate as an estoppel. ORS 93.110 adds that a quitclaim deed is sufficient to pass all the estate the grantor could lawfully convey, and ORS 93.865(3) preserves the grantee's ability to qualify as a good faith purchaser for value. That combination is the instrument's character: it moves exactly what the grantor has, in the record, without promising what that is.

One grantor, one signature line

The form recites a single individual grantor acting personally, so the signature section carries one signature line with a printed name and date, followed by one acknowledgment certificate in the ORS 194.285 short form. Transfers between family members, a conveyance carrying out a dissolution judgment, consolidation of co-owned title into one name, and the release of a doubtful or stray interest that clouds a title all present the one-owner pattern this deed recites. The form recites an individual conveying in a personal capacity; a trustee, personal representative, attorney-in-fact, or entity officer signs under a different capacity recital than this form carries. Oregon adds no signature for a spouse who does not hold title: dower and curtesy are abolished by ORS 112.685, and joinder follows the title itself.

Three statements Oregon prints on the face of the deed

Oregon law places three statements on the face of a fee title conveyance, and the form builds each one in. The true and actual consideration statement of ORS 93.030 states the dollars paid for the transfer, with a companion line for the statutory notation that other property or value is part or the whole of the consideration; a county clerk may not accept a fee title conveyance for recording without it. The tax statement sentence of ORS 93.260 directs where property tax statements go until a change is requested. The land use and property rights statement of ORS 93.040 prints in capital letters in the body of the deed, in the current statutory text. The form also places the ORS 205.234 first page items, the transaction label, the party names, the return address, the consideration, and the tax statement information, on page one, with the top two inches reserved for the county recording label.

Recording, county by county

The deed records with the county clerk of the Oregon county where the property is located. Statewide format law in ORS 205.232 caps paper at 8.5 by 14 inches and sets a 10 point minimum type size; this form is letter size with 12 point text. Fees combine statutory amounts and county schedules, several of which changed on July 1, 2026 under 2025 legislation adjusting the Public Land Corner Preservation fee, so the current figure appears on each county clerk's published schedule. Oregon has no statewide deed transfer tax, and local transfer taxes are barred by ORS 306.815, with one grandfathered exception in Washington County, where a county transfer tax of one dollar per thousand of the selling price applies with its own exemption procedure.
