Q: Do you have a template to create a WILL and POAs for the State of Oregon?

A: You should not post your personal information on a webpage. You also should not be doing your own estate planning documents. There is so much that could go wrong. The Will and POA you did in Canada may actually be fine to continue to rely on even though you now live back in the US. But to be safe review these documents with a local Attorney.

Estate planning is so much more than having pieces of paper. It involves sitting down with an Attorney and reviewing what property you have and the various ways the property can transfer at your death. Documents like a Will don't completely take care of the transfers of all types of property at your death. A POA needs to be a durable POA and you need to understand that once the person who issued the POA dies, the POA becomes a useless document. In a thorough estate planning session the Attorney should also discuss with the client how property is to be managed while the client is still alive but incapacitated. Do yourself a favor, make an appointment with an estate planning Attorney and makes sure your estate planning has been done correctly.

Justia is not a law firm. it is a social media and marketing platform where various Attorneys who are not working for Justia, are offered a chance to answer questions posted by perspective clients. Some Attorneys pay Justia for additional marketing services. Some don't pay anything but just claim the profile that Justia created for them from readily available data that Justia uses to populate the Attorneys listed like the membership lists of licensed Attorneys from various State bar Associations.

A: No, Oregon does not have a standard form for Wills or Powers of Attorney. I recommend you review your current estate plan with an experienced Oregon attorney who will help you determine if you need to make any updated.
