Benjamin L Rasche

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!

Ben was highly professional, knowledgeable, and gave us solid, practical advice. He was patient with us as we worked through the many steps of estate planning, available to answer questions, offered very good referrals for helping to set up a charitable giving fund, helped sort out the distribution ...choices for our estate. He also has an excellent, professional assistant who helped with scheduling and followup on tasks. We would highly recommend this attorney for estate planning.
