Probate in Oregon

Petition for Probate of Will

The petitioner must begin by filing the below with the circuit court where the decedent lived[4]:

  • Petition for the Probate of a Will
  • Original Will
  • Affidavit of Attesting Witness (if required)

Once filed, the judge will issue a Limited Judgment and Letters Testamentary, allowing the petitioner to act as executor.[5] The executor must publish and send a notice of probate to interested persons, send a notice of claim deadline to creditors, and file both notices in court along with proof of publication and delivery and an Inventory.[6]

After settling probate expenses, the executor must file a Final Accounting (Form 9.160) (or if waived, a Verified Statement).[7] The judge will issue a Judgment of Final Distribution, after which the executor must distribute the estate and record each distribution in a receipt signed by the recipient.[8] To finalize, the executor must file the receipts with the court.[9]
