The sentences later courts lift from this opinion, ranked by how many decisions quote each — the parts of the opinion doing the work. These counts are smaller than the citation total above because most of the 6 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.
“a deed absolute on its face is 'what it purports to be unless and until proved otherwise by clear and convincing evidence.' " 4 Swenson v. Mills , 198 Or. App. 236 , 241-42, 108 P.3d 77 (2005) (quoting Fry v. D.H. Overmyer Co., Inc. , 269 Or. 281 , 292, 525 P.2d 140 (1974) ). If "it appears that the parties' intent was to convey and receive the property as security for the fulfillment of an obligation, then the form of the instrument becomes immaterial and the true nature of the transaction may be shown by parol evidence.”
