Contact the officeWhen probate may be required in Oregon
Whether an estate requires a court proceeding depends on how property was titled, beneficiary designations, value and other facts. Some estates may qualify for an Oregon small-estate procedure, while others require a formal personal representative appointment.
Responsibilities of a personal representative
A personal representative may need to identify assets, provide required notices, inventory property, address creditor claims, manage deadlines and distribute property under applicable law. The scope and order of duties depend on the estate and court procedure.
Probate disputes and practical planning
Questions about wills, entitlement to assets, fiduciary duties and creditor demands require careful examination of documents and deadlines. For planning before death, see estate planning services.
