Join Our Next Networking Meeting 4 pm - December 6
(Topic: FINANCIAL MATTERS in ADVOCACY)

Join experienced advocates working in the Northwest who are interested in sharing success and challenges in working in the field for networking, light hors d'oeuvres and beverages. Ever thought it might be nice to partner with another advocate to cover client load or be a back up to cover for you when you travel? Are you considering a job in health or patient advocacy and want to learn more about what the field is all about? Join advocates and other professionals who support advocates and patients for a peer-to-peer sharing event. Bring your questions, challenges and successes.   

Once last thank you to our SILVER and BRONZE Sponsors from our Annual Meeting!

The Estate Planning attorneys at Stoel Rives LLP understand that estate planning is much more than preparing legal documents. While we offer sophisticated estate planning advice, we also help clients and their families define their values, end-of-life preferences and choices for treatment options so that their wishes will be honored.
 
Our attorneys understand that an effective estate plan addresses the challenges of family dynamics and changing tax laws in an efficient and easy-to-understand way. Working as a team with our clients and trust and probate administrators, we also provide the guidance and assurance needed to allow trustees and personal representatives to perform their duties with confidence. The lives and interests of our clients are diverse, and we work with each client to provide tailored solutions that bring together divergent interests, minimize tax liability and reduce opportunities for conflict.  
 
We provide counsel on:
  • End-of-life planning
  • Estate planning
  • Estate and trust administration
  • Personal income, business, gift and estate tax planning
  • Charitable giving and philanthropic planning
  • Fiduciary litigation, including will and trust contests and claim disputes
