Benjamin L Rasche

We are a married couple in our 70's. We had an urgent and immediate need to amend our revocable living trust due to the divorce of our son. We required an amendment naming his children, our grandchildren, as his beneficiary rather than the wife, in the event that our son's death precede the distri...bution of our trust. This was due to her unstable and unnecessarily cruel behavior toward our son, ourselves, and her own children in this ugly contested divorce. We wanted to insure that she has no control of our son's share of our estate, and that his portion pass directly to his children in a trust managed by one of his siblings. We telephoned the law office on a Friday, and were scheduled for our appointment on the following Tuesday morning. We notified Mr. Rasche of our need for the amendment. He also informed us that it would be wise to include an additional Property Power of Attorney for any assets that might not be included in the original trust. Mr. Rasche informed that these documents could be ready by the following afternoon for our signature. We returned the following afternoon to sign the revised documents. We are reassured that our grandchildren will not have the inheritance they are entitled to jeopardized by an unstable mother, or a possible future stepfather. My husband and I have been very pleased with the performance of the Schneider Rasche Law Firm, and Benjamin Rasche in all of our encounters. We feel we have received very sound legal advice, including some wise direction for planning the remainder of our own future. Our concerns were addressed quickly and thoroughly. We take much comfort from the solutions to this stressful dilemma. Mr. Rasche's immediate assistance has eased some of the stress during this very difficult time.

My wife and I attended a free workshop conducted by Richard B. Schneider which covered wills, living trusts, health care documents to deal with possible incapacity, issues with HIPPA and how to handle them, how to decrease your State Estate Tax in Oregon, how to avoid probate, and how to control dist...ributions to your beneficiaries. The workshop provided for a one hour consultation with one of the attorneys. Our consultation was with Mr. Rasche and he did an outstanding job of explain the details to us and we decided to establish a Living Trust. Mr. Rasche is very personable, professional and knowledgeable. I’ve already recommended him to a friend.

Mr. Rasche is certainly up to snuff with the current provisions of the Oregon and Federal Laws regarding estate planning. My wife and I went through a detailed session with him from our jewelry distribution to our burial wishes. But realistically there will be changes in any plan that he will let h...is door open with no charge to us for further questions.
