Benjamin L Rasche

My wife and I were looking for someone local to update our estate trust. Our friend highly recommended Mr. Rasche. We couldn't be more pleased with our experience. Ben was the perfect attorney for our needs. His trusting manner and his clear explanations were welcomed. We feel totally secure i...n our choice to have Ben update our trust. I'm sure he will be the right attorney for others needing his services.

After my brother died I needed to update my will and I certainly wasn't looking forward to it. I had several meetings with Benjamin Rasche as he had done our first will. He is very knowledgeable and made the process easy. We signed the papers for the new will earlier in the week and now it's all t...aken care of -- honestly I can sleep better at night knowing this has been completed. I would highly recommend Benjamin and his staff -- they are top notch!!

Mr. Rasche and his staff did an excellent job working through the numerous details concerning the development of a trust for us. They were also very patient with us as numerous issues occurred which delayed the ultimate trust itself. We were pleased with their understanding and they explained detai...ls to us which had an impact as to how best to proceed. We would recommend him and his team to others when they need family legal/etstate advice.

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 Mr. Rasche to prepare a Revocable Trust. HIs office was patient with my delay in initiating the contract. My proposal for asset distribution was complex and could have incurred taxes for beneficiaries. He carefully listened to my intentions and proposed a solution to do what I wanted and to b...enefit my beneficiaries. He clearly explained all parts of the finished Trust, patiently answering questions. Changes were promptly addressed and future check-ins and costs (or no charge actions) were clearly stated. My 4*, not 5, was based on my personal style of sharing some "human contact" (e.g.: humor and anecdotes) related to the subject, adding some personal connection to the association. He was professionally excellent, but a bit distanced in interaction. I am pleased with the my selection of lawyer and with the resulting Trust.
