My firm is women owned and operated and I specialize in estate planning, estate administration and corporate formation. My goal is to support and guide you with caring and effective legal counsel to craft thoughtful legacy plans that will support and assist your loved-ones during incapacity and after death. The right estate plan celebrates your life and your legacy. The process is about honoring your stories and memories and not just about charts and plans. It's about the people you love, creating a sense of security for them in times of transition and change and taking care of the details so they don't have to. After death of a loved one, there are a number of things that need to be done and you don't have to do them alone. I will guide you each step of the way through the nuts and bolts of the estate and trust administration with knowledgeable, caring and compassionate advice. The nuts and bolts often involves the gathering, management and distribution of the decease's assets to loves ones, the filing of tax returns, collecting benefits and paying the debts that have accrued. This is done in accordance to their wishes as expressed in their estate planning documents or under the laws of Oregon. This process may or may not include probate (the filing of documents with the court). My firm also provides corporate formation services. As a business owner you are faced with a whole array of decisions and one of the decisions I can assist you with is selecting the right entity (LLC, S-Corp, etc...) for you. Having legal guidance can provide you with a strong foundation that allows your creativity to flourish and establishes a clear distinction between your professional and personal assets.
