Benjamin L Rasche

I learned of Ben's services through a Multnomah County Library workshop related to the book titled "A Will Is Not Enough in Oregon" by Richard Schneider. I found the workshop and Richard's book very informative and helpful. Ben recently completed the set up of my revocable living trust. During the... free consultation and the main information gathering sessions, Ben answered my many questions with his knowledgeable and precise answers in a professional manner. He explained the process to meet my needs and clearly stated the simple one-time service fee covers all future trust updates. At the signing session, his assistant (Laura) has already lined up all documents prior to my arrival. Ben methodically walked me through the documents and pointed out action items for me to follow up. I went home feeling confident with this task item checked off on my must-do list. This is a solid 5-star rating service! Ben did mostly stick to business through out the process and not much chitchatting, very efficient. It would have been a 5+ star rating with additional brief soft anecdotal conversation. Due to the current COVID social distancing limitations, the process was conducted via video meetings and followed with an in-person signing session. His office has done a great job in setting up a specially prepped section of the office for the in-person signing session. Ben and his staff are also very responsive through out the process; for example, promptly rescheduling the signing session that was impacted by the February snow/ice storm. Thank you!

I hired Ben Rasche to create an estate plan and will for me. I found Ben to be very knowledgeable and the work he did to be efficient and professional at a reasonable cost. Just as importantly, he was a real pleasure to work with - kind, patient and considerate in all my interactions with him. He ...was open to, even eager, to include others in our meetings, treating them with the same exemplary consideration that he gave me. Both of them are considering using Ben to work on their estate plans and wills.

We were impressed by Ben's presentation at a seminar and we subsequently made an appointment with Ben's office to go over planning considerations and the expenses involved to create a living trust. At our first meeting with Ben, we realized he has detailed and worthwhile knowledge about estate and t...rust matters, and we appreciated that he was able to give us a good layman's understanding of what we needed for our specific situation. We received a firm and reasonable price quote for his services and agreed to terms with him. When we kept our second appointment later with Ben, everything was ready in an organized binder with a backup thumb drive. We appreciate Ben's interest in helping us with our particular situation. Thanks!

This is what working with an attorney should be like. Benjamin was prepared with questions that were on point, suggestions on options to consider and why one was more appropriate for us to consider in our case. He then prepared documents that were tailored to our situation and prepared all the forms ...and documents we would need to place the relevant assets into a trust. We received a binder with all our documents, all the originals to be placed in safe-keeping and a thumb drive with all the documents. I can't think of a better outcome for our time spent and the fee. Plus, free followup consultations in the future.
