An Oregon last will and testament is a legal document that provides written instructions for proper distribution of a testator’s (person to whom the will belongs) estate among their family, friends, children, spouses, and even charitable organizations upon their death. The creation of a will document ensures peace of mind for the testator that their personal, real, fiduciary, and even digital property will be appropriately transferred per the testator’s wishes and not through the decisions of probate proceedings.

Under Oregon law, will documents must be signed in the presence of two (2) witnesses. A testator can also have the will acknowledged by a state-authorized notary public for an extra layer of legal protection. The testator may change or revoke the document at their discretion at any time.
