Estate Distribution In Oregon

Kim, I'm sorry for your loss. To assist you better, could you let me know if you're seeking legal advice regarding inheritance, probate, or any other specific matter related to your brother's passing?

Hi Kim, I'm truly sorry for your loss. It seems you might need advice regarding inheritance or probate given that you mentioned another brother passed away before. Could you clarify if both brothers had wills or if you're facing any specific issues with their estates?

Kim, to establish heirs, it's crucial to understand the laws of intestate succession in your state, as they determine the distribution of an estate when someone dies without a will.
- Are you aware if either of your brothers had a will?
- Which state are you located in, as intestate laws can vary?
This information will help provide more precise guidance.

Hi Kim,
If you're dealing with an estate without a will (intestate), the distribution of assets will follow your state's intestate succession laws. Here are some general points:
- The estate will be distributed to the closest relatives.
- Siblings, parents, and children usually have priority.
- The process might involve court procedures to establish heirs.
Which state are you located in? This will help provide more specific information.

Kim, in Oregon, when someone passes away without a will, the intestate succession laws determine the distribution of their estate:
- If the person has no surviving spouse or children, the estate is distributed to their parents and siblings.
- If both parents are deceased, the estate is divided among siblings.
I recommend consulting with a local probate attorney to navigate the process. Do you need help finding one?

Hi Kim,
In Oregon, since your brother had no spouse or children, his estate will be divided among his siblings if both parents are deceased. Here are the main points:
- The estate will go to siblings equally.
- A court procedure might be necessary to establish heirs.
Do you have any specific concerns or need more detailed information on the probate process?

Hi Kim,
If a sibling has passed away before the deceased brother, the children (nieces and nephews) of the predeceased sibling will inherit their parent's share of the estate. This is called the "right of representation."
Do you need more details on how to proceed with this?

Hi Kim,
Yes, in Oregon, the children of your predeceased brother (your nieces and nephews) would inherit their parent's share of the estate through the "right of representation."
Would you like more information on how to proceed with the estate distribution or any other specific concerns?

Hi Kim,
