Greg wants you to feel confident about the choices you make today by helping you plan your legal and financial future.

Wills and Estate Planning for Kentucky Residents

If you want to make sure your estate is distributed according to your wishes, a well-developed estate plan is a must. Planning for a future where you’re not around is sometimes difficult, but the alternative of having your family argue about it or allowing the government to set the rules is worse. Successful estate planning is not just for seniors or those with significant assets. From basic estate planning to life-care planning, each and every family can benefit.

Estate planning is a complicated field. It is something you don’t want to do on your own by relying on internet research. You need to speak to an attorney. Legal requirements vary greatly from state to state. If you are new to Kentucky, you should consult a Kentucky attorney to make sure your needs will be met.
