Re: Leagality

Generally, a will in Oregon is not effective if not witnessed, and it's possible to contest it, particularly if you would otherwise be an heir. There are short timelines within which to address this, though.

Talk to a PROBATE lawyer about this for greater certainty and more detail on the issue. This is not a civil rights issue, as your question was categorized. Good luck! -- Sam
