What Happens Without an Estate Plan in Oregon?
When an Oregon resident passes away without a valid will or trust, their estate is distributed according to Oregon's intestate succession laws under ORS Chapter 112. This means the state, not you, decides who receives your assets. Even estates with modest assets often go through probate, a court-supervised process that can take months or even years and involves public filings.
A thoughtful estate plan can help you:
-
Direct how your assets are distributed
-
Name guardians for minor children
-
Designate someone to make healthcare and financial decisions if you cannot
-
Reduce the time and cost your family spends in probate
