Does the property still belong to the deceased if it is still on his name 7 years after death?

Yes, you should consult with a Arizona real estate attorney for the answers you are looking for.

So this is an Arizona question. Real property is always governed by the law of the state where the real property is. Under Oregon law, a decedent really can't own anything; the devisees under the will, or heirs at law, own the property as of the moment of the decedent's death, *subject to the proper administration of the estate,* including the rights of creditors. You say there are no other heirs left now; but what about 7 years ago? Were there other heirs then? Maybe they inherited, and their heirs might be entitled to a share.

It is not clear what your theory is. There is no duty to probate an estate. Failure to do so does not constitute "abandonment" of the estate. It is not clear what your relationship is to the decedent, if any. I think your only hope is to review this with an attorney. If there is a Will that mentions you, you have a better chance. If not, you will likely need to let this go.

You can go to the state of Arizona web site and look through the state statutes. You could also call the Arizona Supreme Court and see if they have some type of attorney referral service to get a telephone consultation with an Arizona licensed attorney.
