Christensen & Caigne, LLC is a private fiduciary firm

Guardianship

We are certified and trained to act as court appointed guardians for Oregonians in need of protection due to medical or mental health issues. Our goal is to provide whatever assistance is necessary while maintaining the least restrictive and best quality lifestyle possible.

Conservatorship

We are certified and trained to act as court appointed conservators to Oregonians in need of financial protection for any reason. We are uniquely qualified to assist with asset protection, asset discovery/recovery, and to resolve instances of financial abuse.

Personal Representative

As court appointed personal representative of a decedent’s estate, we will take immediate control of and safeguard the decedent's property until such time as all of the assets in the estate are legally and properly distributed. Let us help you take the stress and family strain out of your or a loved one’s estate plan.

Case Management

Let us help you manage healthcare, transportation, finances and service coordination for your loved one. Sometimes the face of change is easier to meet if it does not belong to a family member or loved one. Our case management services can allow you to maintain positive relationships by placing the blame for change on us. Having trouble finding appropriate services or service providers? We can help.

UTCR 9.160 Compliant Accountings

Let us assist you with setting up procedures and protections for those you protect from financial abuse or exploitation. We can help to create initial inventories, annual accountings and monthly reconciliation reports to help you comply with the Uniform Trial Court Rules regarding conservatorship accountings. Just in need of some basic training regarding book keeping procedures? We can do that too.

Functional Assessment

Let us assist you in assessing the functional needs of your loved one or client. With a licensed Occupational Therapist on staff, we are uniquely qualified to assess the functional abilities and needs of a person in managing their activities of daily living (ADLs) and instrumental activities of daily living (IADLs). With the use of a variety of assessment tools, we will complete a functional assessment in your loved one’s or client’s home and provide recommendations to facilitate safety and independence.
