This rule applies to estates of decedents who die before January 1, 2012.A tax equal to the state death tax credit allowable for federal estate tax purposes is imposed. The tax is due in every case even though the credit may not be claimed on the federal estate tax return, Form 706.

   1. (a) Resident Decedent.

      1. (A) Real property situated in Oregon.
      2. (B) Tangible personal property situated in Oregon.
      3. (C) Intangible personal property wheresoever situated.
