Save Time, Save Money — Speak to an Experienced Attorney in Kentucky

Wilkerson Law can take a daunting task (like drawing up a Will or Trust) and simplify the process, saving you time and your loved ones unnecessary heartache and expense down the road.

Estate planning is especially important if you have children, as you will want to make provision for their future care by clearly stating your intentions in a Will, including the appointment of guardians for minor children, leaving nothing to chance.

Kentucky Estate Planning: Probate, Wills and Trusts

At the law office of Trey Wilkerson, we help you make the most of all relevant estate planning tools:

• Trusts help minimize taxes, protect your assets, and ensure that your estate avoids needless administration in the event of your death.
• Wills record your instruction on how your assets should be distributed to heirs, charities, or other entities once you're gone.
• Powers of attorney appoint a person or persons of your choosing and provide them with the ability to take care of your medical or financial dilemmas in the event you cannot make decisions for yourself or physically act on your own behalf.
• Guardianships designate caretakers for disabled adults or minor children who require a legal guardian.

Administration of your estate

If you'd like to make plans for the administration of your Estate but you aren't sure about which documents you need, we can assist you through a careful and efficient assessment to determine the best way to implement your plans for the future.

Kentucky Wills

A valid, well-designed estate plan carries lasting benefits on several levels:

• A Kentucky will or trust ensures your possessions or monetary assets go to the people of your choosing at the time of your choosing.
• A Kentucky power of attorney clearly records advance directives and preferences related to money and medical decisions.
• A valid Kentucky living will states your wishes in the event you are medically incapacitated.
