Free Informational Seminars:

Preparing your estate plan protects your future and the future well-being of your loved ones. However, many people postpone the first step for far too long because the process seems costly, time-consuming, and confusing. We find that when people are informed of their choices for long-term planning, they find it easier to take that first step of contacting a lawyer.

A part of our practice is to help individuals, groups, and businesses understand the many choices involved in estate planning. We offer free 30-45 minute seminars providing basic information about wills, trusts, and the probate process. Contact us to schedule a seminar for your group or business.

About Oregon Estate Planning:

“Estate planning” involves securing a person’s assets for the eventual distribution to heirs or beneficiaries. This often involves more than just setting up a simple will. Your attorney must also create the right combination of wills, trusts, powers of attorney, advance directives, or other documents to ensure the intended distribution of your estate.

Many clients want to know whether they really need an estate plan if they do not have a lot of wealth. The answer is yes! Creating an estate plan allows you to do the following:

Determine who will care for your minor children
Determine who will handle money for your children
Set up a trust for your children to pay for college, living expenses, medical needs, etc.
Plan for your own care in the event you become incapacitated
Determine who will receive heirlooms or other special items
Make donations to charitable organizations
State your wishes regarding your medical care
And more!

When it comes to arranging an estate, there is no one-size-fits-all solution. We listen carefully to the needs of each client, then work hard to education them about the pros and cons of their various options. Even after an estate is set up, it is important to have a lawyer managing or supervising on a regular basis. We will be available to meet your ongoing needs.
