Legal Question in Wills and Trusts in Oregon
Oregon property laws
Man in his 90's quit-claims property when insurance runs out so wife doesn't have to leave home. Wife's daughter (step-daughter of man) is on property with mom and care-giver. Mom and stepdaughter both die... does property go to man's family or step-daughter's heirs? (no will for her, there is for him).
Thank you.

Re: Oregon property laws
Your question is not really clear as to who the man quitclaimed the property to.
If it was just to his wife, then she owns it and her heirs would get it after the wife died.
If it was to the wife and step-daughter, then it depends on the language used in the deed. It could go 1/2 to wife's heirs and 1/2 to step-daughter's heirs.
Since you mention that insurance ran out, there is also the possibility that the State of Oregon may have a claim against the property if they provided funds to pay for a nursing home for the man before his death.
