Estate Planning

We assist individuals and families in creating estate plans tailored to their specific needs.  Our services include:
Wills
Wills allow you to pass property to selected beneficiaries on your death.
Community Property Agreements
Community Property Agreements can be an effective way to pass assets to a surviving spouse without court proceedings.
Power of Attorney
A durable power of attorney can allow another individual to act on your behalf when you are unable to do so.
Health Care Directives
Health Care Directives allow you to decide when to withhold medical care if you have a terminal illness.

Bankruptcy/Debt Relief

Buried in Debt? Our attorneys can lead you through financial distress and help you to determine your best options to again be on the path to financial stability.

Foreclosure

As the number of foreclosures in Washington continue to rise, so does the number of mistakes and avoidable foreclosures.

Banks and loan servicers must follow strict rules regarding the foreclosure process, including giving the homeowner adequate notice and an opportunity to come current on their loans. If your bank is foreclosing on your house in error, or has failed to follow proper procedures, we can help keep you in your home.

You may be eligible for a loan modification or other alternatives to foreclosure, including a short sale, deed-in-lieu, or bankruptcy. Some of these alternatives can make the process easier, and some can keep you in your home. See how we can help.
