Estate Planning

The attorneys of Chenoweth Law Group understand the importance of well-structured and well-written estate plans. Unfortunately, even individuals with the best intentions can create unforeseen and complex estate planning and administration issues when they undertake estate planning without the help of experienced legal counsel.

Our Portland, Oregon, attorneys can help families structure an estate plan or feel more secure with a review of their existing estate plan. Licensed to practice in Oregon, Washington, and California, we stand ready to help you and your loved ones across the Pacific Northwest. If you have questions about your estate plan or a loved one’s will, please contact us.

Estate Planning Support

Proper estate planning is necessary for successful asset protection and allocation. The first step in protecting your assets and communicating your wishes to your beneficiaries is through the creation of a will or trust. We can help you draft your will and assist you in establishing trusts to protect and distribute assets. Our lawyers can also answer any questions about probate and will contests.

We can handle the creation of any type of estate planning documents and designations, including:

  • Wills
  • Living wills
  • Advance health care directives
  • Revocable and irrevocable trusts
  • Powers of attorney (medical or financial)
  • Charitable trusts
  • Special needs trusts

Probate Support

If a loved one dies without a will or their estate meets specific criteria, our attorneys can help you through the probate process. We also represent trustees in their management of a trust for which they are the fiduciary. If you feel that a trustee or personal representative is not properly handling your estate or an estate in which you are a beneficiary, there may have been a breach of fiduciary duty. In any of these situations, CLG can provide the advice and representation you need to solve the problem.
