We recommend that every adult have at least three documents to prepare for the end of life or things that severely limit their ability to manage their own life. These documents are a will, a durable power of attorney, and in Oregon, what is known as an "advance health directive". We help many families and loved ones after a person has died. Oregon law provides a process known as probate to wind up a person's financial affairs after their death.
We focus on Guardianships and Conservatorships also known as "protective proceedings". A protective proceeding's purpose is to protect a person from physical and financial abuse or neglect and self-neglect. This is when the court appoints someone to take care of another person. We are able to create trusts for our clients. A trust is an entity that can own property just like a person can.
In some situations it is beneficial for a person to transfer ownership of their property to a trust that they control.

The Stan Butterfield law firm helps many families and loved ones after a person has died.
Oregon law provides a process known as probate to wind up a person's financial affairs after their death.
Without probate, creditors would be forced to hound the family members of someone who has died in order to get outstanding bills paid.
Probate gives creditors an opportunity to make claims against a person's estate so the decedent's bills get paid.
It also sets a time limit for creditors to make a claim and once that time is up a creditor has no right to bother a decedent's survivors to pay bills.

A will directs what will happen with your material possessions after you die.
It says who gets your money and property and tells the court the person you want put in charge of it.
Without a will, the State of Oregon determines who gets your property and the court could appoint almost anyone to be in charge of your estate after you die.

Stan acts as the fiduciary for people that otherwise may not have anyone to help them watch out for their interests.
A fiduciary is a person that holds a position of trust that requires them to protect the best personal or property interests of others.
The duty of a fiduciary requires them to look after the interests of the person they are protecting in a way even greater than they look after their own interests.
