Estate Law and Tax Planning Lawyer in Portland, Oregon
At both the Oregon state and federal level, estate and inheritance tax laws are ever-evolving. Currently, you need to be concerned with tax planning if your estate approaches or surpasses one million dollars in value, but that could change in the next legislative session. Federal estate tax laws are particularly volatile at the moment: the potential federal gift and estate tax on your estate is utterly dependent on how laws change — or stay the same — in 2010 and 2011.

At The Hingson Law Firm PC in Portland, we engage in solid, accomplished tax planning work for those who need it.
