Explanation
Oregon's statutory warranty deed (ORS 93.850) provides covenants of warranty only for claims arising from or through the grantor — similar to a special warranty deed. It does not warrant against claims predating the grantor's ownership. This is distinguishable from a general warranty deed, which warrants against all claims regardless of origin.
