Probate Administration

When someone dies and leaves property behind, the estate must often be processed through the court using a procedure known as “probate.” This can occur if the deceased died with a will (testate) or without a will (intestate). In many cases, this procedure is both lengthy and complicated. It can also be emotionally exhausting when the people involved in the case are already dealing with grief.

About Probate in Oregon

Probate is a procedure established by the state of Oregon to process and close a deceased person’s estate. During this procedure, the court will validate the deceased person’s will if they died with a will, or manage and distribute the estate assets based on the laws in Oregon for intestate succession. The individual appointed by the court to represent the estate is known as the personal representative (Executor) and they will act as estate administrator and oversee the payment of debts and distribution of assets in accordance with the terms in the will or the applicable law.
