I interviewed three law firms before selecting Stefan Wolf to be my estate planning attorney. Throughout the process of setting up a trust, will, POA and Advanced Directive he was the consummate professional. Stefan is responsive, smart, extremely knowledgeable, kind, and thorough. After a phone conference with my long-time financial planner, my planner called me and asked if I knew how lucky I was to have Stefan as my estate attorney. My planner said he works with his clients estate attorneys all the time and had never worked with someone of Stefan's caliber. High praise from my curmudgeon of a financial planner! We finished the process on-time and at the quoted flat rate despite the complexities of my estate. I am now continuing my travels with peace of mind knowing my estate is set up exactly how I want it to be. Stefan's team is also extremely responsive and professional. Thank you!!

Stefan spent hours with us explaining all our options for estate planning. Not only is he a knowledgeable attorney, he is very personable and patient. Talk to Stefan and get your estate in order today.

Stefan was referred to us by a wealth management firm and we couldn't be more pleased with the quality of his legal services and the great value we received. His expertise was clear from our first meeting and he was patient and answered all of our questions in a clear and understandable nature. Trust documents can be very confusing and Stefan's style was very smooth and relatable. I would highly recommend Stefan to anyone needing estate planning assistance.

I had a chance to hire Stefan to prepare my trust per the recommendation from a colleague of mine. I had reached out to a number of lawyers but ended up going with Stefan for a number of reasons. First, he was very quick to respond and the process was completely clear and seamless. He also explained all the details fairly succinctly and clear to understand for us non-lawyer minds. The process of preparing the trust was also incredibly efficient. He was very quick, and very good at reminding me of things whenever I held things up. The costs were very fair and overall the experience was excellent. Hope to use him for help in the future!

We had a great experience with Stefan and would highly recommend him. The process was clear and easy.

Stefan Wolf updated our Trust, Will and associated documents to be consistent with Oregon law. We first met with him remotely during which time we explained how we wanted to revise our trust. He was very attentive and made numerous suggestions that would address both our need to be consistent with state law and our desires which were then accurately reflected in the documents he prepared. At our second meeting he stepped us through the documents and answered all our questions. For signing we had to have an in-person meeting, but the office took all the necessary precautions. Also, the office staff promptly assisted us in arranging meetings. This was the third time we updated the trust. Including the original writing, it was by far the best experience we have had.

Stefan helped me and my wife with our estate plan and made the entire process very straightforward for us. Any questions we had he answered clearly and gave us all the information we needed to make informed decisions.

My husband and I recently finished our estate plan with Stefan, and we are so happy we made the investment! Working with Stefan was a great experience. He explained things to us in a way that was easy to understand, worked efficiently to get our estate plan drafted, patiently accommodated our work schedules, and gave us an end product that we feel very secure with. Stefan is incredibly competent, responsive, knowledgeable, and honest; my husband and I are grateful for his integrity, intelligence, and kindness. During this process, we’ve realized that Stefan and his colleagues at Govaerts Manache have built a great reputation in the Portland area and we understand why. We not only invested in an estate plan that we are confident will serve us and our family well upon our passing, we also built a trusting relationship with someone we will enjoy coming back to over the years as we evolve and update our plan to best serve our needs. We highly recommend Stefan for anyone looking to set up a will or trust!

This was my first time creating a will and trust. Stefan walked me through the process and made it extremely easy and understandable. He was patient with my questions and clearly cared about getting me set up properly.

We came to Stefan with a list of long and short term planning needs that he was able to immediately prioritize for us. We worked with him over the course of a few weeks and were were always impressed by the thorough but fast turn arounds. Stefan made the process very enjoyable and personable. At any point we had questions, they were answered in full. We are very satisfied with the outcome of working with Stefan.

We sought out Stefan for the drafting of wills and related estate planning documents for our family. From the get-go, Stefan explained everything to us in clear and straightforward terms. Our introductory meeting struck a nice balance between personal and professional as we delved into sensitive subjects such as family, financials, emergency decision-making, etc. Stefan made a point of getting to know us, while steering an efficient and educational process for us. Based on our recent experience we'll go back to Stefan for any future legal guidance. And we would trust any of his referrals to legal experts in other disciplines!

Stefan made our estate planning easy. He sent us gentle reminders every week until we sent the necessary information. The whole process went smoothly and Stefan answered every question we posed. He was always available and his responses immediate. We would definitely recommend Stefan to anyone.
