Estate Planning
I specialize in a personalized and cost-effective approach to estate planning, putting you in control of how your assets are distributed. I guide clients through the process of creating estate plans necessary for their family to avoid expensive and unnecessary probate proceedings and also implement simple tax planning techniques to utilize Oregon’s $1 million estate tax exemption for both spouses. As an experienced estate planning attorney, I work with clients to create their wills, trusts, power of attorney, deeds with right of survivorship, and more.
Probate Administration
As an experienced attorney specializing in probate administration, I offer comprehensive legal services to help you manage your loved one’s estate. I will work with you to ensure that all necessary legal documents are filed properly and that your loved one’s wishes are carried out. I understand that this process can be difficult, but I am committed to making it as smooth and stress-free as possible.
Trust Administration
I am dedicated to providing my clients with the highest quality legal representation for their Trust Administration needs. After a loved one passes, families are often faced with a Trust instrument and little understanding of what to do next. I work closely with the new Trustee to ensure the trust instrument of their loved one who has passed is implemented and followed, providing clear communication to the beneficiaries to ensure the new trustees’ fiduciary duties begin with the right start.
Guardianship & Conservatorships
I am committed to serving individuals who are unable to manage their own lives due to a variety of reasons. We can assist you with the complex and sensitive legal issues involved in petitioning for guardianship and/or conservatorship. I am here to help you navigate the complexities of the court process, and provide the support and guidance you need during this difficult time.
Oregon Court of Appeals
If you're looking for a reliable and dedicated attorney to assist you in your civil case on appeal, look no further. My priority is to provide clients with personalized support and dedicated representation throughout the appeals process. You can count on me to be by your side every step of the way and ensure that your rights are represented.
Trust and Will Disputes & Litigation
I have strong experience in trust litigation and will disputes. I am dedicated to providing clients with comprehensive legal advice and representation, with a focus on striving to settle matters and, when necessary, representing clients in court proceedings for a just outcome. My services include trustee removal, beneficiary disputes, will contests, and inheritance rights issues. I understand how overwhelming and complex legal issues can be, and am committed to helping clients navigate the legal system with ease. My collaborative and communicative approach to law and my clients allows me to work with clients to develop creative, cost-effective solutions that are tailored to their specific needs and goals. I understand the importance of handling these sensitive matters with discretion and professionalism, and I work tirelessly to resolve each case in my clients' best interests.
Business Organization & Transactions
I can assist you in business organization matters, including choice of entity (LLC, C-Corp, S-Corp-elections, partnership, sole proprietorship, etc.), corporate formalities & governance issues, contracts, and general business and tax planning.
Tax Litigation
As a tax litigation and audit specialist, I am dedicated to providing legal advice and representation to clients who need it most. My LLM in tax law from the University of Washington gives me a unique perspective on how to tackle even the most complex of tax cases. Working jointly with the Law Offices of O’Connell Hval and Martin, we have the expertise to guide you through any issue successfully. We represent individuals and small businesses in audits (in field, mail, or office audits) and through tax controversy at the administrative (agency) level through appeals and, if necessary, the US Tax Court, Federal District Court, and Oregon Tax Court. Few things in life are more intimidating than facing a tax audit examination. A tax audit is the examination of an individual or business return to verify that all items reported are accurate and substantiated.
