Legal Question in Real Estate Law in Oregon
Land Sales Contract Eviction
Can I file an FED on a extremely
defaulted land sales contract without
hiring an attorney, by myself? How
do I go about doing this? Do I pick
up papers somewhere? I am
desperately trying to help my very ill
grandmother who owns the property
but no longer even lives in Oregon.
anything would be helpful and a
blessing. Thank you so much for
your time.

Re: Land Sales Contract Eviction
The process for recovering property under a defaulted land sale contract takes two steps. First the contract has to be foreclosed, then the occupants evicted. You cannot evict the occupants until the contract is properly either (1) forfeited or (2) foreclosed upon.
This is not an area for do-it-yourself. To properly clear the title and get it back in your grandmother's name requires a variety of legal steps and takes 2-5 months.
Once the property is back in grandmother's name, the occupants can be evicted through the court system using an FED.
Our office regularly handles contract foreclosures and forfeitures for clients. We also offer a low cost initial consultation.
