proceeding in which Oregon law applies for the property located in Oregon, not Washington law. <o:p></o:p></span></p>

<p class="MsoNormal" style="background:white"><span style="color:black">That is the significance of owning real property in any jurisdiction with or without (but especially without) a will. (Consider that it is still Idaho law that applies that permits their
marvelous $27 filing to establish authority for a non-Idaho PR to transfer Idaho real property.)<o:p></o:p></span></p>

<p class="MsoNormal" style="background:white"><span style="color:black">Similarly, if your intestate decedent had also owned Washington real property, you’d have two full-blown intestacy proceedings, one subject to Washington law and the other to Oregon law
— and a very unfortunate “missed planning opportunity.”<o:p></o:p></span></p>

<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:12.0pt;font-family:"Times New Roman",serif;color:#002060">The question is: what is the most streamlined way to deal with the house? Do a probate in Oregon, with Washington intestacy law as the governing law? Probate
in Washington (which would be most convenient) and some truncated procedure to dispose of Oregon house? (I’ve found this process to be really easy in Colorado and Idaho.) Is there a way to do this without probate?</span><o:p></o:p></p>
