A Skilled, Approachable Lawyer Focused on Oregon Estate Planning and Elder Law
While many attorneys and even software programs may be willing to assist you with a "simple will," the reality is that most of us do not have a simple estate. You might be single with no heirs and no one to rely on if you become incapacitated, or you might be married and have children that are "his, hers and ours," or might have young children who will need a guardian if something were to happen to you, or even adult children who cannot manage money well, or you might be in a long-term relationship with an unmarried partner. You might have complicating real estate or business issues that will need to be addressed appropriately. You might have an estate that could be subject to Oregon Inheritance Tax or Federal Estate Tax. You might have children or grandchildren or a spouse with special needs. You might have a spouse whose mental or physical health is declining, and you may have concerns about the cost of long term care for you or your spouse in the future. Our firm focuses on crafting a customized estate plan that addresses your unique situation and concerns. Our goal is to educate and assist you with your options.
If you choose to contact us at The Hingson Law Firm PC, you can count on receiving personal, focused attention — whether you need a simple estate plan for your non-taxable estate, or a comprehensive plan for your multi-million-dollar estate. Understanding your personal wishes and concerns will help us establish a customized and appropriate estate plan for your situation.
Emphasizing Practical, Comprehensive Solutions and Clear Communication
Few people know what estate planning documents and strategies are best for accomplishing their goals. Instead, they may have gone through some significant life change, gradually becoming more aware of their need to document their wishes and protect their assets, or had a family member become incapacitated or pass away.
Having practiced law in Oregon since 1992, attorney Phil Hingson does two major things extremely well for people facing such challenges. He can:
- Analyze your situation and assess your needs thoughtfully in order to present a plan that takes into account the full spectrum of available, innovative solutions
- Explain your choices and their implications in plain language, enabling confident decisions without concern that you are being "oversold" or leaving out key issues
Experience and Versatility on Your Side for Estate Planning or Probate
An experienced, trustworthy attorney can be a great comfort as well as a critical asset for you when you face:
