Even with a revocable trust in Oregon, you still need a will, most commonly a pour-over will that catches any asset never retitled into the trust. Oregon also allows a transfer-on-death deed for real estateORS 93.948 to 93.979Verified Oct 17, 2026View source, which moves property out of probate without a trust. Whether a trust adds enough over a will-only plan turns on the situation: real property, a blended family and out-of-state assets are the common reasons. The Oregon trust-or-will tool walks through the decision.

In Oregon, estates with personal property of $75,000ORS 114.510Verified Sep 8, 2026View source or less use the Simple Estate AffidavitORS 114.510Verified Sep 8, 2026View source, 30 daysORS 114.510Verified Sep 8, 2026View source after death, a court filing short of full probate. That route is a form rather than a court case, and most families handle it without an attorney. Above the line, formal probate generally benefits from counsel for the procedural work, even when nothing is contested. The Oregon probate calculator estimates the cost by estate value.
In Oregon, the situations where counsel is typically worth the cost are: a blended family with children from a prior relationship; a business, rental property or significant investment assets; a dependent with special needs, who needs a special-needs trust to keep benefits; an estate near or above the Oregon estate taxORS 118.010Verified Sep 15, 2026View source threshold of $1,000,000ORS 118.010Verified Sep 15, 2026View source; substantial property in more than one state. Where none of these apply, an online or self-help document is often enough.
