probate
My husband recently died from a heart
attack we have been married for 26
years everything that we own is in his
name. Does that mean that it will all
go to probate.

Re: probate
It depends. There are times when we can avoid probate and other situations where it is necessary. It will depend on what assets your husband owned and their value. Oregon does have a small estate proceeding available for situations where the value of the assets is low.
You really need to contact an Oregon attorney to find out what your options are. We offer a low cost initial consultation and handle probate work all over the state.
