Can I get control over my father's estate if I live in a different estate than he does?

Answered by attorney Jayne L. Sebby (Unclaimed Profile)
Estate Planning lawyer at Jayne L. Sebby
The executor or personal representative of an estate does not need to reside in the same state as the deceased did. In order to sucessfully fulfill the duties of the executor, it is important to use an attorney who is familiar with the probate and estate laws of the decedent's state of residence.

Which is better to do, a living trust or a last will?

Answered by attorney David L. Leon
Estate Planning lawyer at David L. Leon, P.C.
It depends on what you want to accomplish and the complexity of your estate. For most couples, a will does the trick. If you have a more complicated estate, or you have issues of capacity, a trust may be preferable.

Can I set up multiple living trusts and put different properties in each?

Answered by attorney Brian Haggerty (Unclaimed Profile)
Estate Planning lawyer at Minor, Bandonis & Haggerty P.C.
Yes, but why? Are you thinking asset protection? Then you want limited liability companies, not revocable trusts. Revocable trusts in Oregon provide essentially no protection from the settler's creditors.
