A legally binding document that expresses your wishes for asset distribution and names guardians for minor children.
A last will and testament is the cornerstone of any sound estate plan. It allows you to dictate exactly how your assets are distributed after your death, name an executor to carry out your wishes, and — critically for parents — designate guardians for your minor children.
Without a valid will, Oregon's intestacy laws determine who inherits your estate. This statutory default may not align with your intentions and can lead to costly legal disputes among family members. A professionally drafted will eliminates that uncertainty.
What a Will Can Do
- Distribute real estate, financial accounts, personal property, and business interests
- Name a guardian for minor children or dependents with special needs
- Designate an executor (personal representative) to administer your estate
- Specify charitable gifts or legacies to organizations you care about
- Reduce the potential for family conflict during a difficult time
Our attorneys work closely with you to understand your family dynamics, asset structure, and long-term goals before drafting a will that truly reflects your wishes. We also advise on how your will interacts with beneficiary designations, jointly held property, and any trust documents you may have.
