Estate planning frequently includes grandparents, parents, stepchildren, and grandchildren. Nationwide, 15% of households provide care for a parent. Estate planning or elderlaw should encourage collaboration between generations. The Law Offices Nay & Friedenberg LLC is dedicated to promoting collaborative planning. Our lawyers can provide advice on simple matters such as living trusts or wills, complex concerns such as Medicaid planning, and probate. Tim Nay, Sam Friedenberg, Garvin Callahan (Brett Callahan), Jim Varner, and Shannon Conley are the Portland Oregon lawyers. The personal representative is the individual responsible for the decedent's probate (also known as an executor). The decedent's signed document (testate) will most likely identify one or more individuals as personal representatives. Oregon law prioritizes some persons if the decedent passed away without a will (intestate). Our lawyers will collaborate with you to select the best representative and create a petition to commence a court action. A petition must be brought to court, and a judge must approve it before the personal representative gains authority.
