What Oregon requires
| Oregon rule | What it means for you |
|---|---|
| Two witnesses (ORS 112.235) | Each watches you sign, or hears you confirm your signature, and signs the will |
| Notarization not required | A notary does not replace a witness |
| Witness affidavits | Signed and notarized at the same time, they let the will be proved in probate without finding the witnesses later (ORS 113.055) |
| Paper only | Since January 1, 2026, an electronic document does not count as a written will in Oregon |
Signing in a hospital
Many Multnomah County will signings happen in hospital, often at short notice. Tell us the hospital, the unit and the room, and whether the patient can sign. We plan around visiting hours and staff rounds. Hospital staff usually cannot act as witnesses, which is why we bring our own. See also our hospital notary services, and advance directive notary if an advance directive is being signed too.
We are notaries, not lawyers. We do not write wills or advise on what they say; we provide the witnesses and notarize their affidavits.
