What legal paper do I need to validate a will?

Mark asked:
My father passed away 2 weeks ago. I’m trying to cancel his utilities, bills, subscriptions, credit cards,etc. I was already on his checking account but not his savings account. To transfer his car title and access his savings account the service rep at the bank said I needed the court to ‘validate’ the will. I already had it notarized but apparently there’s some form she needs from the court to release his savings account (and to allow me to transfer title of his car).

What’s the name of the legal form to do this?
State: Oregon
County: Clackamas
