Portland Oregon Wills Probate Attorney
Probate is the court-supervised transfer of property from a deceased person (decedent) to his or her heirs and beneficiaries. Upon their death, the decedents “will” clearly specifies who is to receive the decedent’s estate.
If the decedent created a will before their passing, they are said to have died “testate.” But if a will is not produced upon their death, state law will determine who inherits the estate. If the decedent did not establish a will before their passing, a Portland Oregon wills probate attorney will be necessary to determine who is awarded the estate.
