A new Oregon law allows owners of real
property to designate a person to receive it
upon the owner’s death simply by signing
a legal deed that names a benefciary.
The new law, which went into effect
in June 2011, works much like pay-on-
death or transfer-on-death accounts
at banks and brokerages. It allows real
property to automatically pass to the
designated beneficiary without the need
for a will, trust or probate—
and without the disadvantages
of a joint tenancy or life-estate
deed.
The owner may revoke
or change the benefciary
designation at any time and
