Sale power exists by default
What makes Oregon different: ORS 114.325 grants the personal representative power to sell, mortgage, lease, and deal with estate property without needing the will to say so first. Exercising that power becomes improper — requiring notice, a hearing, and a court order — only if the sale would contravene the will, or the property was specifically devised and the will doesn't authorize its sale.
A real statutory commission, not a guideline
ORS 116.173 sets an actual percentage schedule: 7% on the first $1,000 of court-jurisdiction property, 4% on the next $9,000, 3% on the next $40,000, and 2% above $50,000 — including income and realized gains, such as the proceeds from a house sale.
Vesting at death isn't the same as sale authority
Title vests in the heirs or devisees the moment the owner dies, but it stays subject to the personal representative's possession and control during administration — a buyer's title company still needs proof of actual sale authority, not just proof of who technically owns the property.
A real Oregon estate tax, well below the federal line
Oregon taxes estates above $1 million — a threshold not adjusted for inflation — at rates from 10% to 16%. See Capital Gains Tax on the Sale for the separate question of what's owed on the gain itself.
