Question 1

Are there Bitcoin estate planning attorneys in Portland and Eugene?

Accepted Answer

Yes, Portland has a strong concentration of BEPC-certified attorneys due to Oregon's tech-forward culture and crypto-friendly environment. Eugene and other Oregon cities are also served by attorneys specializing in Bitcoin estate planning. Oregon's early RUFADAA adoption in 2016 and progressive approach to technology have fostered specialized expertise in cryptocurrency inheritance planning.

Question 2

Does Oregon have estate tax on Bitcoin?

Accepted Answer

No, Oregon has NO state estate tax. Your Bitcoin estate will only be subject to federal estate tax above $13.61 million (2024). This makes Oregon very tax-friendly for Bitcoin inheritance. BEPC-certified Oregon attorneys can structure estates to minimize federal taxes while leveraging Oregon's RUFADAA protections for comprehensive Bitcoin succession planning.

Question 3

How does Oregon's augmented estate provision affect Bitcoin?

Accepted Answer

Oregon has augmented estate provisions that protect surviving spouses by including certain lifetime transfers in the estate calculation. This can affect Bitcoin gifting strategies and requires careful planning to ensure spouse protections are met while maintaining Bitcoin security. BEPC-certified attorneys navigate these requirements while structuring optimal Bitcoin inheritance plans.

Question 4

Can I maintain Bitcoin privacy in Oregon estate planning?

Accepted Answer

Yes, Oregon's RUFADAA includes privacy provisions, and trusts can keep Bitcoin holdings confidential. Unlike probate (which is public), revocable living trusts maintain privacy for Bitcoin estates. BEPC-certified attorneys structure trusts that satisfy Oregon law while keeping cryptocurrency holdings and distributions private from public record and potential security threats.

Question 5

How does Oregon's tech-friendly culture benefit Bitcoin estates?

Accepted Answer

Oregon's progressive approach to technology and early RUFADAA adoption created a supportive environment for Bitcoin estate planning. Portland's tech sector has driven crypto adoption and specialized legal expertise. BEPC-certified Oregon attorneys stay current with evolving digital asset laws and leverage Oregon's comprehensive legal framework for sophisticated Bitcoin inheritance structures.
