It’s not just about having a will for when you die
• it’s about your life, your legacy and your death,
• it’s about making your life’s work mean something to benefit others
• it’s about your transition from life to death
• it’s also about who you leave behind, and their transition as well, whether it is family, close friends,
villagers, or charities that represent your values
• it’s about YOU, your family, your community, your life and your legacy.
Sarah is from Olympia, Washington and has been practicing law for over thirty years. Growing up on the Puget Sound, Sarah acquired a love for the sea which eventually drew her to the Oregon coast and Manzanita. Sarah obtained her undergraduate degree from University of Washington, and her law degree from University of Puget Sound (now Seattle University). She has served as General Counsel for her family’s sawmill business, and also General Counsel for a small community bank in Olympia, Washington. She established her branch office in Manzanita, Oregon in 2010, Sarah is licensed to practice in both Washington and Oregon.
Sarah has been active in the village of Manzanita since coming here with her family over the last 25 years. Her branch office, Law Manzanita, is located within Coast Gallery space located at 144 Laneda Ave across from the San Dune Pub. She has exclusive use of the gallery space during the week, to maintain absolute confidentiality for her clients. The space provides a more calming environment than a traditional office space, which helps her clients relax when discussing serious legal issues. Sarah makes estate planning less of a chore and more of an exercise of assessing one’s own legacy and putting it in perspective.
“Sarah is very personable. She helped us walk through the maze of estate planning laws and made it much easier and more satisfying than we ever thought possible. We really appreciated her caring, and calming influence, as we learned how to navigate through the process, and reconcile our individual differences for how we wanted our estate managed during out lives and after our death“ – Local resident and client
Her practice focuses on business, real estate, development, finance, land use and estate planning, as well as succession planning for family businesses.
Sarah is married to Gary McIntosh, and they raised three children together visiting Manzanita every summer for over 20 years, until they finally purchased a second home in 2008 in Manzanita and then she established a second office in Manzanita. She served on the Board of the Manzanita Business Alliance and was active in the North Tillamook County Rotary and the Womens Club helping these organization obtain their 501(3)(c) non-profit status. She continues to volunteer for many local organizations such as the business alliance, the Lower Nehalem Community Land Trust, the Womens Club, the Hoffman Center and The Pine Grove Community Center. She is also an active sponsor of many local events such as the Mudd-Nick Foundation Auction, the Nehalem Valley Historical Society and the Manzanita Farmers Market.
