Oregon Wills and Trusts Attorney
There are many options to consider when determining how best to plan for your estate. We'll use our extensive experience to help you decide what works best for your individual situation.
- Simple wills: These are useful in a wide range of situations.
- Trusts: Trusts come in varying forms and can range from a basic, revocable living trust to a more complex special needs trust. When you come into our office, we will assess your situation to determine if a trust is right for you.
- Advance health care directive: This is a legal document in which you outline critical decisions about your health care. You may appoint a health care representative to direct your wishes in the event you become physically or mentally incapacitated.
- Power of attorney: Appointing someone to act in your stead is an important task. You can give the person you choose the capacity to make a wide range of important decisions for you.
Waiting too long to create a will or failing to update an existing estate plan can lead to complicated legal and financial issues for your family after you've passed. Whether you want to draft a new will or update an existing will, we can help.
Probate Administration and Litigation
If you are the executor or personal representative for a will, it is your responsibility to execute the directives and wishes outlined in the will. Because the probate process is so complicated, it can be beneficial to have experienced legal representation by your side. Depending on the size and complexity of the estate, having a lawyer to help you through the process can protect you from personal liability if mistakes are made. We have the knowledge and experience necessary to ensure your rights and interests are protected as together we work to successfully execute the wishes of your loved ones.
Litigation may be required if legal disputes regarding a will or trust arise. If you are an executor or beneficiary to a will or trust and feel as though there are mistakes or questions of fraud, you have the right to contest the will's validity or the administration of the estate.
