Legacy Planning for Families & Professionals in the Silicon Forest

Living and working in Hillsboro means being part of a vibrant, forward-thinking community. Whether you are a tech professional managing stock options in the Silicon Forest, a growing family establishing roots near Orenco Station, or a local business owner driving the Washington County economy, you have worked hard to build your life. 

However, true security means protecting your hard-earned assets, your children, and your healthcare choices, no matter what tomorrow brings.

Many people put off estate planning because they assume it is only for the exceptionally wealthy, or they dread the thought of navigating clinical, intimidating legal processes. Sunstone Planning LLC believes that preparing for the future should be an empowering, accessible, and comfortable experience. 

We help you break down complex legal requirements into practical, everyday concepts. We work beside you to clear away the confusion, giving you the tools to shield your loved ones and preserve your legacy.

We offer free initial in-house or virtual consultations with a Hillsboro estate planning attorney. Call (971) 376-7745 or message our firm online to get started. 

Our Services

Building a Reliable Foundation to Protect What Matters Most

A comprehensive estate plan extends far beyond a simple document. It is a coordinated legal matrix designed to manage your affairs if you face an unexpected medical crisis or pass away.

We guide Hillsboro residents through the essential foundational pieces, including:

  • Statutory wills - Drafting clear, enforceable directives that outline how your personal property and assets should be distributed, removing guesswork for your heirs.
  • Trusts – These are key legal tools designed around your goals, assets, and the people you want to protect. 
  • Guardianship designations - Establishing legally sound protections to name the individuals you trust to raise your minor children if you are no longer able to do so.
  • Financial powers of attorney - Nominating a trusted agent to manage your everyday financial obligations, such as paying mortgages, managing investments, or running a business, if you become temporarily or permanently incapacitated.
  • Advance healthcare directives - Outlining your explicit medical preferences and naming a healthcare representative to make treatment decisions on your behalf during a medical emergency.
