Estate Planning

Covington, Kentucky, Estate Planning Lawyer

Estate planning is the process of preparing for your death or the death of a close family member. Without a proper estate plan, the State of Kentucky will determine where many of your assets go. Even worse, the Internal Revenue Service (IRS) could possibly seize a large portion of your hard-earned assets and estate. Therefore, developing a proper estate plan is essential to minimize the emotional and financial burden from the loss of a family member.

Effective estate planning, involving the use of simple wills, living wills, revocable and irrevocable living trusts, can ensure that your assets are distributed in accordance with your wishes as efficiently as possible, while minimizing the estate tax burden on your loved ones. Advanced planning can save your beneficiaries a great deal of time and trouble in the future. I will work to ensure that your final wishes are realized and that your loved ones are properly protected. In addition to estate planning, I can provide guidance and representation for issues related to contested wills and the probate process if you have lost a loved one. The probate court process can be complex and frustrating, and the services of a skilled and experienced estate planning and probate lawyer can be invaluable in successfully navigating the process.
