Vehicle Retrieval Legal Steps
Summary
If you need to retrieve vehicles from a deceased owners property in Oregon, consider contacting the probate court to determine who is handling the estate. If no executor exists, you can file a petition to be appointed as the administrator. To reclaim your vehicles, you may need to file a motion for a writ of assistance, providing evidence of ownership. If law enforcement is uncooperative, you can file complaints with the internal affairs division, a citizen review board, or the Oregon Department of Justice. For complaints, you can file online or by mail, detailing your situation and attempts to resolve it.Full Conversation
