Estate Planning

A thoughtful estate plan does more than decide where your belongings go — it protects you and your family if illness or incapacity ever takes away your voice. We draft wills, trusts, powers of attorney, advance directives, and special needs plans in both Oregon and Washington.

Medicaid Qualification

The rumors about Medicaid — "you have to be broke," "you’ll lose your house" — are mostly myths. We help Oregon families plan, organize, and qualify for long-term care Medicaid using approved strategies like Income Cap Trusts and careful spend-down planning.

Probate & Trust Administration

Settling a loved one’s final affairs is hard enough without untangling the legal process alone. Our attorneys guide personal representatives and trustees through probate and trust administration with experience and a compassionate, practical approach.

Guardianships & Conservatorships

When a senior can no longer make safe decisions — and the right documents aren’t in place, or the people named are gone or unfit — court protection may be necessary. We handle guardianships, conservatorships, and elder-abuse protective proceedings to keep vulnerable loved ones safe.
