[OR] What is the correct process for accessing a deceased person’s assets?

Just sent a Simple Estate Affidavit for my deceased mother. She has lived in Portland, Oregon, since 1965 and returned to Canada in 2016 due to dementia. I couldn’t change the place of death, but the death certificate is Canadian. I'm trying to access her bank account and safety deposit box. Looking for input on the form and whether it’s correct. Thanks.

[OR] Does an attorney need to review a notarized certificate of trust?

Hi, my husband passed away last Sunday and the bank is requesting a new certificate of trust since the last one was in 2001. We have a living trust and I filled in the grantor with myself and my husband as grantors as stated in our trust. Do I just need to have it notarized and take it back to the bank, or do I need to take it to my attorney? Thanks for your help.

[OR] I need help making sure I filled out my TOD form correctly for my father. Will a lien on the house affect this process?

I am just unsure about the preparer and return-to section. Also, my father says that there is a lien on the house through the student loans he took out to help me get through school. That is the only other thing I can think of. I will be contacting the student loan people soon to see what is still owed.

[OR] What should I do if my mediation eviction order was blank and I want to extend it?

None of those portions of the agreement were filled out by the mediator. The copy of the agreement I received is blank. Is my best course of action to request the original filed copy from the court clerk? Shouldn’t those sections contain some information? I didn’t realize they were blank when I signed.
