- Q. Can my transitional alimony be taken away if I move in with someone? Oregon

Probate is usually needed to clear title to land or bank or savings and loan accounts that were held in the name of the deceased person only, and put the title to these assets in the names of the rightful beneficiaries.
Your sister will not be able to sell any home or land without going through probate, unless she is named as a co-owner on the deed. If you and your sister are the only surviving children ... Read More
