Kentucky Estate Planning Law
Regardless of the size of your estate, having a clear, legally sound plan is essential. Online templates and low-cost services may seem convenient, but they often overlook the complexities of Kentucky and Indiana law, unique family dynamics, tax implications, and the “what-ifs” that require real legal foresight. Unfortunately, mistakes in DIY documents are usually discovered too late — leaving families unprotected or assets tied up.
Our experienced estate planning attorneys ensure every document is properly drafted, properly executed, and tailored to your goals. We help preserve your assets, plan for inheritance, minimize tax burdens when possible, and create a plan that works exactly as intended when your family needs it most.
Not all families look alike, and your estate plan shouldn’t either. Our attorneys are skilled in advising blended families, same-sex couples, and chosen families, and we ask the important questions that lead to a comprehensive, reliable plan designed for your unique situation.
Call (502) 425-8717 or contact us online to schedule a confidential consultation at any of our offices — Louisville, Mount Washington, or Sellersburg. If travel is difficult, we can meet at your home, hospital, or nursing home, and we also offer online (Zoom) consultations.

At our family-based firm, you will always receive personalized guidance from a dedicated attorney who will take the time to understand your goals and help you create a plan that protects your future — and your family’s.

& Friendly Service
Let's face it. No one likes to think about death or disability. That may be one reason why so many people fail to have an estate plan, leaving their family members guessing about their wishes and intentions after they are gone — or worse — pursuing legal action over their estate or guardianship of their children.

HELPING YOU PLAN FOR
You & Your Family’s Future
From a simple will to a complex estate plan, we have the knowledge and skills needed to design an estate plan that will meet your unique needs. Our estate planning services include:
Last Will & Testaments
By your last will and testament, you direct who will receive your assets and property after your death and name an executor to probate your estate.
Many residents of Kentucky and Indiana do not realize that if they die without a properly executed will, their estate will be devised according to state statutes and will probably not go directly to their spouses.
“The English Law Group’s clear and concise communication, coupled with their ability to make complex legal jargon easy to understand, was a significant factor in making the entire experience smooth and worry-free. Their patience and willingness to provide comprehensive answers to our questions reassured us at every step.”
Updating An Existing Will
Your will should be amended periodically, especially after a major life event such as a divorce or remarriage, or death of an heir.
Living Wills / Health Care Directives
In a living will/health care directive, you can express your wishes regarding end-of-life care. You can also explain what types of medical treatment you would want if you were unable to speak for yourself.
Health Care Powers of Attorney
You can name a trusted relative or friend to make medical decisions for you in the in the event you become incapacitated or unable to make your own decisions.
Durable Powers of Attorney
You can name someone you trust to manage your affairs if you become incapacitated. Unlike a “general” POA that ends when you lose capacity, a durable POA remains in effect even if you are no longer able to make decisions.
Trusts
A trust is a method of preserving assets or providing continued support for family members. The funds (money or assets) are distributed to the beneficiaries in accordance with the exact terms of the trust.
