Estate Planning
Clarity. Security. Peace of Mind.
Estate planning isn’t just about what happens after you’re gone—it’s about making intentional decisions now that protect the people and causes you care about most. At HLH Attorneys, we help individuals and families across Oregon and Washington create estate plans that make sense for their lives, values, and future.
Whether you’re drafting your first will, setting up a trust, or updating an old plan after a major life change, we’ll walk you through each step—without legal jargon or unnecessary complexity.
What’s Included in an Estate Plan?
A comprehensive estate plan is more than just a will. It’s a set of documents that work together to ensure your wishes are followed and your loved ones are taken care of.
We help clients with:
- Wills & Trusts – Direct how your assets should be distributed and who will manage them
- Powers of Attorney – Appoint someone to handle financial matters if you’re unable to
- Advance Directives / Health Care Proxies – Clarify your medical wishes and who can speak for you
- Guardianship Designations – Name trusted individuals to care for minor children
- Asset Protection & Tax Planning – Structure your plan to minimize risk and unnecessary costs
- Charitable Planning – Leave a lasting legacy with gifts to causes that matter to you
- Business Succession Planning – Ensure your business transitions smoothly if something happens to you
Whether your estate is simple or complex, we tailor every plan to your goals, family structure, and financial picture.
When Should You Start?
Life moves quickly. If you’ve experienced any of the following, it’s time to create or update your estate plan:
- Marriage or divorce
- Birth or adoption of a child
- Purchase of a home or business
- Significant changes in income or assets
- Diagnosis of a serious health condition
- Death of a spouse or family member
- You’ve simply been putting it off
Estate planning doesn’t have to be overwhelming. Most of our clients are surprised by how straightforward the process is once they get started.
