An affidavit can be filed if the fair market value of the estate is $275,000 or less. Of that amount, no more than $200,000 can be attributable to real property and no more than $75,000 can be attributable to personal property.
In Oregon, you must be at least 18 years old and of sound mind to make a will. If you are married or emancipated, you can make a will before you turn 18. Your will must be in writing and must be signed by you and two witnesses. Some people cannot serve as witnesses to your will.
Probate is required for most estates in Oregon, and the type of probate process depends largely on the value of the assets that are in your name when you pass away. If a will exists, the original will has to be filed with the probate court.
The Oregon estate tax is a tax that is levied on the transfer of the estate of a deceased person. It is separate from the federal estate tax, which is a tax on the transfer of the estate of a deceased person at the federal level. The Oregon estate tax applies to estates with a value of more than $1 million.
Probate is not always necessary. If the deceased person owned bank accounts or property with another person, the surviving co-owner often will then own that property automatically.
