Notes of Decisions
Under this section attorney fees incurred by personal representative in preparing and settling wrongful death action were properly charged against beneficiaries’ share of settlement proceeds as well as against personal representative’s share. Hughes v. White, 289 Or 13, 609 P2d 365 (1980)
Where there is no order of distribution under this section, ORS 30.060 does not establish appellate jurisdiction to determine whether there should have been such an order. Roe v. Pierce, 313 Or 228, 832 P2d 1226 (1992)
Where recipients of distribution are not limited to workers’ compensation claimants, distribution formula takes precedence over paying agency lien right established under workers’ compensation statute. Worthen v. Lumbermen’s Underwriting, 137 Or App 368, 904 P2d 1088 (1995)
