Can I get control over my father's estate if I live in a different estate than he does?

Answered by attorney Candace Kay Ladley (Unclaimed Profile)
Estate Planning lawyer at Candace K. Ladley, Attorney at Law
Yes, if your father does not have a Will appointing an executor or if none of the appointed executors want to be appointed, you can petition the court where your father's property is located to have yourself appointed as administrator of the estate. The Court will make you post a bond in the amount of the value of the property. The premium for the bond can be paid from the property in your father's estate.

Under the law, once a will has gone through probate and executor is appointed, should this be sufficient to access bank accounts?

Your lawyer is right, your Letters Testamentary should be sufficient. Banks live according to their own laws, however, and don't give a rip for the laws enacted by the legislature of the State of Oregon. Your choice is to pay a lot of money to have your lawyer argue this with Bank, or pay for another death certificate to give to bank. Get the death certificate.
