[WSBAPT] Oregon Brethren

Oregon does have a Transfer on Death Deed but you would have to ensure it to go beyond both their lives to avoid the probate if something were to happen.

I am hearing more and more, it seems, that title companies will insist on a probate if you seek to ensure title down the road.

It looks like the statute can be found in ORS 93.948-93.979 but I am not licensed in OR so just friendly discussion here 😉

I am putting together an estate plan for a WA couple who still own a house in Oregon.  While the couple are healthy and plan on selling the house in about 1 to 3 years, you never know what could happen and one spouse dies.  The couple do not want to use a revocable trust but want to have something in place in Oregon to avoid having to probate their estate in Oregon just to take care of the house.  Is there some document or method to avoid an Oregon probate in case one (or both) spouses dies before the house is sold?   Does Oregon have a transfer on death deed process we could use or some other document?
