What Happens When You Don't Have a Plan

Family Fights Over Assets

Without clear instructions, siblings argue, relationships break, and lawyers get rich settling disputes that could have been avoided.

Courts Decide Your Fate

If you're incapacitated without a Power of Attorney, a judge decides who manages your finances and medical care. Not your family.

Probate Drains Your Estate

The Kentucky probate process can take 6-18 months and cost thousands in fees that go to the court system instead of your family.

Your Wishes Get Ignored

Without legal documents, state law determines who gets what. Your partner, your favorite charity, your wishes? They don't matter.

Frequently Asked Questions

How much does estate planning cost?

Estate planning costs vary based on complexity. A basic will might cost a few hundred dollars, while comprehensive trusts run higher. During your free consultation, we'll assess your needs and provide transparent pricing with no hidden fees.

I don't have much money. Do I still need estate planning?

Estate planning isn't just for the wealthy. If you own a home, have a car, a bank account, or family who depends on you, you need a plan. Without one, the state decides what happens to everything you've worked for.

How long does the process take?

Most estate plans can be completed in 2-4 weeks. The first consultation helps us understand your needs, then we draft documents for your review, and finally we execute everything properly.

What's the difference between a will and a trust?

A will goes through probate court (public, time-consuming, costly). A trust avoids probate entirely, keeps your affairs private, and gives you more control over when and how assets transfer. We'll help you decide what's right for your situation.

Can I update my estate plan later?

Yes. Life changes - marriages, divorces, births, deaths, new assets. Your estate plan should change too. We recommend reviewing your plan every 3-5 years or after major life events.
