So glad we finally started this process and we found a N+F to help us as well. We met with Sam,…read morewho with incredible pace and patience, walked us through all of the details and definitions of how a living trust works and all the things we would want to consider as we cement our final wishes. Going into this, I thought it would be incredibly intimidating and complex but it was surprising direct - not because it is - but because of the way Sam was able to explain things in a way it was easy to get. And I should mention that in addition to Sam, everyone there was incredibly kind and helpful as my wife and I set up our living trust. So after years (yes, years) of putting this off, we finally have the peace of mind of a trust. And not just because of some paper but because these people helped give us some confidence in the process as well. So lucky we were referred here!

The Attorney who assisted my wife's parents with their Elder Law stopped responding to our…read morequestions. Since we needed to do some additional planning, we found and met with another elder law attorney to map out a plan, who also stopped responding. We were referred to Nay & Friedenberg by the attorney who assists us with our real estate and Darin Dooley has been outstanding! He is always calm, provides us the options we have available to choose from, the impact of each option, and explains them in an easy to understand manner. We are so grateful for their assistance, we are now beginning to use Darin for our own needs, and look forward to working with him to plan our retirement. I cannot say enough about this firm, they respond promptly, patiently, and use a common sense approach to very complicated issues, which makes working with them extremely enjoyable. Highly recommended!

There was an unexpected (heartbreaking) health change in my family, and suddenly I had to figure…read moreout how to provide help for my husband in the event I was disabled or worse, and also to protect assets so that we wouldn't be wiped out financially by the health issue. I was referred to Richard Hattenhauer, who listened to my situation and worked with me through the steps of preparing a trust, a special needs trust, powers of attorney, and wills. He was patient in explaining legal issues (sometimes twice or more!), worked to simplify the complex paperwork of how to move assets into the trust, and wisely suggested that we get a second attorney involved to represent other family members so that all legal actions were supportable and above reproach. I never felt that he or his efficient staff were billing me in 6 minute increments for phone calls and questions. There was a single bill at the end, and it was the same fee he discussed at the first meeting. His guidance was good, his work timely, and he and his staff were congenial and understanding. I offer my strong recommendation.

One benefit of a properly funded Trust is that your family will avoid the high cost, and time, associated with probate. Probate is the state sanctioned change of ownership from the decedent, to his or her beneficiaries, that takes approximately six months to one year to administer, and is expensive to the beneficiaries. A properly drafted Trust can provide for you, and, if you are married, your spouse's financial future. A Trust can also protect and provide for an impaired spouse or child. A trust can guide children and grandchildren toward a higher education and a hoped for financially secure future. Trusts also address the intricacies, and unintended surprises, that a blended family can create. Wills, which unfortunately only work through probate, may be appropriate for some young couples or individuals with few present day assets I am a veteran and a VA accredited attorney, and I can assist qualified veterans, or their spouses, who are over the age of 65, receive veteran's aid and attendance benefits. Mr. Hattenhauer is authorized to practice law in the States of Oregon (1979), and Iowa (1975), and before the Oregon Federal District Court. He is a member of the Oregon Bar Association, and the Oregon State Bar's Estate Planning and Business Law Sections.
