Oregon Household Paperwork Bundle: 3 Kits in One Download (OR Executor and Estate Kit, Oregon Small Claims Kit, Oregon Will Signing Kit)

Who it is for

Families in Oregon getting papers in order: signing a power of attorney or will, settling an estate, or taking a money dispute to small claims.

Not the right fit if

You only need one of these papers (buy that kit on its own), or nothing is in Oregon. Not a form preparation or legal service.

• Oregon Will Signing Day Kit. Bring 2 witnesses. The rule: Two witnesses, who each see the testator sign or acknowledge the signature and then sign. Pick witnesses who get nothing under the will and aren't married to someone who does. The statute we read doesn't say who takes the affidavit. Ask the lawyer whether to have a notary there. A witness's signature on an affidavit signed at the same time as the will counts as a witness signature. The statute we read doesn't mention a notary. The rule here: A will signed by an interested witness isn't invalid for that reason. The testator signs (or acknowledges the signature) while the witnesses watch, then each witness signs. Steps, ID, copies and review dates. Electronic wills: Not allowed. For a will, a writing doesn't include an electronic record.
