ORS 93.268: Notice to state agency of transfer or encumbrance of real property by title insurance company.

(1) As used in this section, “encumbrance” has the meaning given that term in ORS 411.692. (2) A title insurance company or agent that discovers the presence of a request for notice of transfer or encumbrance pursuant to ORS 411.694 in the deed and mortgage records when performing a title search on real property shall: (a) Provide the state agency that filed the request with a notice of transfer or encumbrance of the real property within 30 days of a transfer or encumbrance that results in the issuance of a certificate of title insurance; and (b) Disclose the presence of the request for notice of transfer or encumbrance in any report preliminary to, or any commitment to offer, a certificate of title insurance for the real property. (3) If the Department of Human Services or the Oregon Health Authority has caused to be recorded a termination of request for notice of transfer or encumbrance in the deed and mortgage records, a title insurance company or agent is no longer required to provide the notice of transfer or encumbrance required by subsection (2)(a) of this section for the affected real property. (4) A title insurance company or agent shall use the form adopted under ORS 411.694 or a form substantially similar to that form when providing the notice required by subsection (2)(a) of this section.
