Muzzy v. Uttamchandani, 250 Ore. App. 278 (Or. Ct. App. 2012)

(quiet title action involving multiple deeds; plaintiff deeded property to his daughter, but retained a life estate; daughter deeded property back to plaintiff, but deed was not recorded until September 2004; daughter subsequently deeded property to defendant in July 2004, which was recorded in July 2004; in August 2004, defendant executed promissory note to daughter for free and clear title; other subsequent deeds were executed, but were not part of the appeal; plaintiff filed suit against defendant to quiet title to property; defendant argued he was a subsequent purchaser in good faith who filed his deed first, so he was owner of property; district court found defendant failed to provide consideration for deed, so he was not good faith purchaser and plaintiff owned property; defendant appealed; appellate court affirmed district court’s factual finding that no consideration was given for deed recorded in July 2004 because promissory note was granted after deed and was for “free and clear title” rather than recorded deed).
