Ryan Haan

Ryan Haan is a partner at Weatherford Thompson in Albany, Oregon, where his practice focuses on estate planning, probate, real estate, and taxation. He also represents businesses and nonprofit organizations on legal matters connected to their operations and planning needs. His work combines individual planning with practical counsel for organizations, giving clients a single legal resource for matters involving property, succession, tax concerns, and ongoing business responsibilities.

Haan earned a B.A. from Dordt College, where he studied history and philosophy, and later received a J.D. from Regent University School of Law. His academic training gave him a broad foundation for analyzing legal issues, evaluating competing interests, and addressing detailed planning questions. That background supports his work with estates, tax matters, real property concerns, businesses, and nonprofit organizations that require careful legal structure and long-term planning.

Haan joined Weatherford Thompson as an associate attorney after completing law school and later became a partner. His practice includes helping clients prepare estate plans, address probate matters, handle real estate issues, and work through taxation questions. He also provides legal services to business and nonprofit clients. The range of his work allows him to address legal issues that overlap across personal planning, property ownership, organizational governance, and financial considerations.

Ryan Haan combines a planning-focused legal practice with sustained involvement in the Albany community. He serves on boards connected to housing, youth services, and education, and the firm states that he provides pro bono legal work for local nonprofit organizations. His professional approach reflects the same practical focus seen in his estate, tax, real estate, and business work, helping clients organize legal matters and make informed decisions about long-term goals.
