Oregon Revised Statutes Chapter 711 § 711.577 — Death

Death of depositor; payment of claim. (1) Any person who would be entitled to withdraw a deposit under ORS 708A.430 may claim the deposit and receive dividends thereon, or if claim has been made it may be amended after the death of the claimant so that future dividends are paid to the person entitled thereto under ORS 708A.430. (2) If any claim is more than $500, dividends may be paid to the person entitled thereto, as provided in ORS 708A.430, if the Director of the Department of Consumer and Business Services is satisfied that the total dividends to be paid after the death of the claimant are less than $100. (3) The director is under no obligation to determine the relationship of the affiants or declarants to the deceased depositor and the payment of dividends made in good faith to parties making the affidavit or declaration shall be a release of the director for the amount of the dividends so paid.
