A legally binding document that expresses your wishes for asset distribution and names guardians for minor children.
Learn More →Healthcare Directives
Living wills and advance directives that ensure your medical wishes are honored when you cannot speak for yourself.
Healthcare directives are legal documents that communicate your medical treatment preferences and designate someone to make healthcare decisions on your behalf when you are unable to do so. In Oregon, these documents include an Advance Directive and a Healthcare Representative designation.
Without these documents in place, medical providers may be required to take extraordinary measures to prolong life, regardless of your wishes — and family members may disagree about the appropriate course of care, leading to conflict during an already stressful time.
Oregon Advance Directive Components
- Health Care Representative: Designates a trusted individual to make medical decisions for you
- Instructions for Health Care: Specifies your wishes regarding life-sustaining treatment, artificial nutrition, and comfort care
- POLST (Portable Orders for Life-Sustaining Treatment): A medical order for individuals with serious illness or advanced age
We work with you to think through complex scenarios, understand your options under Oregon law, and document your wishes in a way that healthcare providers will honor and that your family will understand.
