Or. Rev. Stat. § 86.794 governs nonjudicial trust-deed proceeds, paying expenses, secured debt, later recorded liens by priority and then the grantor or successor. Section 86.794 sets no fixed owner surplus filing period. Ask the trustee promptly for accounting and payment. Section 86.797 governs the effect of sale and no redemption for notified parties, not a cash-claim deadline.
