Legacy Preservation Law - Portland, OR
Designing Legacies for Future Generations
Legacy Preservation Law is a specialized estate planning firm located in the vibrant Concordia neighborhood of Northeast Portland. Founded in 2000 by James (Jim) D. McVittie, the firm was born out of a desire to provide more than just legal documents; we strive to provide peace of mind. Unlike general practice attorneys who may dabble in wills, we focus exclusively on estate planning and elder law. This specialization allows us to stay at the forefront of tax laws, Medicaid regulations, and asset protection strategies. Jim McVittie, a graduate of Lewis & Clark Law School, brings over three decades of legal experience to the table, combining technical expertise with a genuine passion for helping families navigate life's most sensitive transitions.
Holistic Estate Planning Services
We believe that a true legacy is about more than just money; it is about values, memories, and caring for those you love. Our comprehensive services include:
- Living Trusts and Wills: We create personalized plans that ensure your assets are distributed exactly as you wish, minimizing taxes and avoiding the public spectacle of probate.
- Elder Law and Medicaid: We help families plan for long-term care costs, protecting their life savings from being drained by nursing home bills.
- Special Needs Planning: We design trusts that provide for loved ones with disabilities without jeopardizing their eligibility for essential government benefits.
- Fiduciary Services: We guide trustees and executors through the complex process of administering an estate, ensuring they fulfill their legal duties.
Deeply Rooted in the Community
At Legacy Preservation Law, we are proud of our connection to the Portland community. Jim McVittie is an active member of the Portland Gay Men's Chorus and enjoys exploring the Pacific Northwest through scuba diving and boating. Our office, located in a beautifully remodeled 1925 Craftsman building, reflects our philosophy: approachable, comfortable, and built on a solid foundation.
