Experienced Lawyer for Handling Probate or Drafting Your Will
Veteran attorney Todd R. Worthley has extensive experience in Oregon probate law, including direct familiarity with navigation of the specific courts and processes unique to Multnomah, Washington, and Clackamas counties. Our firm is adept at issue-spotting and we emphasize efficiency and affordability in resolving the estate matters of a deceased person — whether that person passed on with or without a will.
We encourage you to contact us with your legal questions and needs regarding probate and drafting of a will. In addition to offering full probate services, we draft and re-work basic wills and other essential documents — often as part of our service to men and women coping with divorce or other family law matters.
Drafting or Changing Wills — Ensuring You Have Other Essential Documents
We handle those matters with which we have deep, solid experience, and you can trust us for a referral if you have specialized estate planning needs such as the development of a trust. Well within our range of knowledge and experience are matters such as:
- Executing sensible, necessary changes to your will after a divorce or other change in your family makeup
- Reviewing or redrafting your will to help ensure your wishes are carried out in the event of your death
- Drafting other essential documents such as a power of attorney designating the person you want to make decisions about your property after your death
Practical Services to Protect Your Property and Meet Legal Requirements
Transferring or "passing" title to any property after a death in the Portland area or elsewhere in Oregon requires a court order. Other issues such as settlement of debts and ownership of certain assets may be disputed or otherwise require the services of a skilled probate lawyer — and preferably one with extensive litigation experience.
We have handled many probate cases and matters involving wills — emphasizing sound decision-making and responsive, affordable service. To discuss your needs with Todd R. Worthley in a helpful initial consultation, please call 503-575-9708 or contact us online right now for a prompt return call.
