My experience with Charles Hall and Erin Cowan at Baxter Law was great and I highly recommend working with them. They were both professional but also made me feel heard. The two communicate effectively and I knew what was going on at each stage of the process or when there were new developments in my case.

Do You Need Help with the Oregon Estate Planning Process?
Estate planning is essential for virtually all adults in the state of Oregon. While many believe that estate plans are reserved only for those with large estates or significant wealth, almost anyone would benefit from a comprehensive estate plan. If you pass away without an estate plan in place or are left incapacitated without certain estate planning documents, your loved ones may be left panicking about what to do. At the same time, state laws take away any sense of agency.
Some of the estate planning measures we can assist you with include, but are not limited to, the following:
- Drafting, reviewing, revising, and challenging last wills
- Probate and estate litigation
- Creating various types of trusts that represent your estate planning goals
- Explaining the advantages and disadvantages of conservatorships and guardianships
- Assistance with drafting a durable power of attorney document
- Representing trustees and estate representatives through estate or trust administration
- Developing comprehensive asset protection strategies
- And more
The time to begin creating your estate plan is now, not later. While we sometimes think that we’ll have all the time in the world to address these matters, the future comes for us when we least expect it. Do not leave your legacy and your family members’ future in doubt. Contact Baxter Law in Bend, OR for legal advice today.
