His landlord has billed his estate for back rent, but there is no estate, and no estate assets. He died in Eugene, Oregon. Thank you.

If the account is larger than the rent bill and is less than $75,000 you... View More

Real estate that is held with rights of survivorship normally does not need to pass through the probate process. This can be handled through proper documentation with the county. However, given the complexity, it is advisable for you to speak with an attorney.
