About Katharine Elizabeth
Katharine Elizabeth Tate built a continuous trail into regulation at the West Coast. She earned her bachelor’s degree in History, International Relations and Political Science from Carroll College in 2008 and finished her J.D. at Willamette University College of Law in 2015, the place she additionally received a Certificate in International & Comparative Law.
After law school Tate joined Grable Hantke Law Group as an affiliate in 2016. She spent that period dealing with matters tied to property, estate administration and client-facing practice in a small company environment. The knowledge uncovered her to transactional work and to the practical demands of estate settlement.
In 2019 she opened Tate Law Offices, PLLC. Running her own practice shifted her every day work from group-primarily based tasks to the full scope of client intake, counseling and file management. She represents clients in both Washington and Oregon, and manages cases that occur in each state’s rules and procedures. She is a member of the Oregon State Bar and later joined the Washington State Bar Association when she established her practice throughout the border.
Tate’s memberships monitor the areas she most frequently handles. She belongs to nearby and state bar sections dedicated to real estate, probate and trusts. She also maintains ties to divisions that serve solo and small firm practitioners and younger lawyers. At the county degree she participates in Spokane County Bar Association teams that address senior law, disability and property making plans matters.
Her background in international and comparative regulation is a part of her law school training, though her practice centers on home problems that have an effect on aging clients, families settling estates, and owners of residential and commercial actual property. Clients flip to her for wills, trusts, probate administration and associated actual property things. She works on making plans documents as well as the documents that transfer property after death or through sale.
Colleagues describe her approach as practical and easy. She handles the paperwork and court filings that often accompany property and property matters and guides clients through statutory time limits and procedural steps. Running a small company also means she handles the business aspect of practice: billing, client improvement and compliance for an office serving regional needs.
She stays lively within the American Bar Association and its sections applicable to estate and real estate work. Tate currently operates Tate Law Offices, PLLC, serving clients in Washington and Oregon with a practice focused on property planning, estate administration and real property matters.
