Q: what is a Oregon Statue
can I sell the house without being on the deed
A: An Oregon statue is a three-dimensional work of art located in the state of Oregon. An Oregon Statute is a law passed by the legislature, abbreviated ORS. As to your other question, sort of. You could sell it, but it would have no real legal affect and leave you open to a variety of issues. Plus, unless you are selling to a moron, they will go through escrow and find out you are not on the deed (I make an exception as to if you are not on the deed but still an owner versus you are not on the deed and also not the owner, as one can own property w/o being on the deed, for instance via inheritance).
