(f) May transfer or sell any vehicle that is part of the estate before the completion of the period established under ORS 114.555 (Effect of failure to appoint personal representative) if the affiant complies with the requirements established by the Department of Transportation for such purposes under ORS 803.094 (Release or assignment of title interest).
(g) May convey any real or personal property that is part of the estate before the completion of the period established under ORS 114.555 (Effect of failure to appoint personal representative), provided that each heir or devisee succeeding to the interest conveyed joins in the conveyance and that any proceeds of sale, net of the reasonable expenses of sale and any debt secured as of the date of the decedents death by a duly perfected lien on the property, shall become a part of the estate subject to ORS 114.505 (Definitions for ORS 114.505 to 114.560) to 114.560 (Exclusive remedy). If the property is a manufactured structure as defined in ORS 446.561 (Definitions for ORS 446.566 to 446.646), the affiant must assign interest in the structure as provided in ORS 446.616 (Transfer of interest in manufactured structure). Any conveyance to a purchaser in good faith and for a valuable consideration made by the affiant and the heir or devisee succeeding to the interest conveyed, or made by the heir or devisee succeeding to the interest conveyed after completion of the period established under ORS 114.555 (Effect of failure to appoint personal representative), conveys the interest stated in the conveyance free of any interest of the claiming successors, and the purchaser has no duty with respect to application of the consideration paid for the conveyance.
(2) Notwithstanding any other provision of this section, when an heir or devisee entitled to succeed to a conveyance fails or refuses to join in the conveyance as required by subsection (1)(g) of this section, an affiant approved under ORS 114.517 (Approval of attorneys filing affidavits for recipients of Medicaid or other public assistance) may convey any real or personal property that is part of the estate at any time to a third party for a valuable consideration.
(3) Property conveyed by an affiant under this section is subject to liens and encumbrances against the decedent or the estate of the decedent but is not subject to rights of creditors of the decedent or liens or encumbrances against the heirs or devisees of the decedent. The filing and allowance of a claim in a proceeding under ORS 114.505 (Definitions for ORS 114.505 to 114.560) to 114.560 (Exclusive remedy) does not make the claimant a secured creditor.
(4) Any claiming successor to whom payment, delivery or transfer is made under ORS 114.505 (Definitions for ORS 114.505 to 114.560) to 114.560 (Exclusive remedy) as a person entitled thereto as disclosed in the affidavit is personally answerable and accountable:

The financial institution is not required to ensure that the funds of the decedent that are paid out by the affiant are properly applied.
