One of the best steps you can take to protect your family and ensure your wishes are carried out is to have a Will or Trust and other estate planning documents.  We understand that investing the time and money into creating an estate plan is something that is easy to put off for another day – or year – when you are busy taking care of the everyday details of life.  Unfortunately, to delay creation of an estate plan can sometimes leave your family without a clear idea of what you would have wanted.  For unmarried couples, both same-sex and opposite-sex, the surviving partner can be left particularly vulnerable if there is no official, properly executed document expressly granting the surviving partner decision-making authority or conferring the right to inherit property.  And for parents, estate planning documents create an opportunity to name guardians and trustees who will care for your children or manage funds on their behalf should something happen to you before your children are of an age when they can care for themselves.

The attorneys at Beth Allen Law PC take the time to sit down with you to get to know you, your family, your wishes, and your concerns, so that they can create a plan that is unique to your particular circumstances.  We are proud to be your Portland, Oregon, community law firm.
