Butcher & Smith Law – Portland, OR

Comprehensive Estate Planning in the Pacific Building

Butcher & Smith Law is a dedicated estate planning and probate firm located in the historic Pacific Building in Downtown Portland. Partners Sara Butcher and Robin Smith established the firm with a clear mission: to make high-quality legal services affordable and accessible to everyone, regardless of their financial situation. 📜 We believe that estate planning is not just for the wealthy; it is a crucial step for any family wanting to protect their future. Our practice is built on personalized attention, where we take the time to understand your unique family dynamics-whether you are a blended family, a same-sex couple, or a single individual.

Tailored Legal Solutions

We reject the ‘one-size-fits-all’ approach. Instead, we craft customized plans that reflect your specific wishes and values.

• Wills and Trusts: We draft revocable living trusts and wills to ensure your assets are distributed according to your desires, minimizing state interference.
• Probate Administration: When a loved one passes, we guide you through the complex Oregon probate process, handling court filings and asset distribution with sensitivity.
• Guardianships and Conservatorships: We assist families in obtaining legal authority to care for incapacitated adults or minors who cannot care for themselves.
• Tax Planning: We help minimize potential estate and gift tax liabilities to preserve more of your wealth for your beneficiaries.
• Nonprofit Organizations: Sara Butcher brings specialized expertise in helping charitable organizations with formation and compliance.

Our office at 520 SW Yamhill Street places us directly across from Pioneer Courthouse Square, the living room of Portland.
