What We’ll Cover
Estate planning affects far more than what happens after someone dies. A good plan can also help protect your family, your property, and your wishes while you are still living. During this Live, we’ll discuss some of the questions families ask us most.
The Difference Between a Will and a Trust
Understand what each document is designed to do, how they differ, and why one may be more appropriate than the other depending on your circumstances.
How Probate Works in Oregon
Learn what probate is, why families often want to avoid it, and how different estate planning tools may affect whether property has to go through the probate process.
Powers of Attorney & Healthcare Directives
Learn why planning for incapacity is just as important as planning for what happens after death, and who may be able to make financial or healthcare decisions if you cannot.
Protecting Your Home & the People You Love
We’ll discuss ways families commonly structure their estate plans to help provide clarity, continuity, and protection for the people who matter most.
Common Estate Planning Mistakes
Learn about some of the problems that can arise when estate plans are incomplete, outdated, improperly coordinated, or never created at all.
What Happens Next
You’ll leave with a clearer understanding of the questions you should be asking and the next steps you may want to consider for yourself and your family.

About Your Host
Chris Moore - Estate Planning Educator | Founder, Fortis Planning
Chris Moore is the founder of Fortis Planning and an estate planning educator who believes families should be able to understand their options before they are asked to make important decisions.
His approach is simple: take a subject that can feel complicated and make it understandable, practical, and approachable.
Through educational seminars, Facebook Lives, and individual conversations, Chris helps families better understand wills, trusts, probate, powers of attorney, healthcare directives, and the estate planning process.
The goal is not to overwhelm you with information.
It is to help you gain the clarity and confidence to take the next step.
Special Needs Trust
Planning for a loved one with special needs requires thoughtful preparation and the right legal tools. A Special Needs Trust allows you to provide financial support while preserving eligibility for important government programs such as Medicaid and SSI. With Fortis Planning as your guide, you can create a plan that ensures long-term care, stability, and peace of mind.
Veterans Trusts
As a Veteran, your service and sacrifice have earned you more than gratitude. You also have access to benefits that can make a meaningful difference for you and your family. One of the most valuable yet often overlooked programs is the Aid and Attendance Benefit, a tax-free pension offered through the Department of Veteran Affairs.
Medicaid Asset Protection Trust
The cost of long-term care can drain a lifetime of savings, but a Medicaid Asset Protection Trust, often called a MAPT, is designed to protect what you have worked so hard to build. By moving assets into this type of trust, you can preserve your wealth while still qualifying for Medicaid benefits when the time comes.
