Estate Planning Practice

Protect what you built. Care for who's next.

Wills, trusts, late-life planning, Medicaid asset protection, and Kentucky probate. The work that lets Louisville families plan for the future, and the work that helps them navigate the worst when it arrives.

What we draft, review, and litigate.

A complete estate-planning practice for Louisville families: from a first will at thirty-five to Medicaid planning at seventy-five to a contested probate at any age.

Foundational

Wills

A properly drafted Kentucky will is the foundation of any estate plan. We will sit with you, understand your assets and your family, and produce a document that does what you intend.

Asset protection

Revocable & Irrevocable Trusts

Trusts let you control how and when assets pass to beneficiaries, avoid probate, and protect against creditors and Medicaid recovery. Right tool for the right situation.

Later in life

Late-Life Planning

Long-term care, durable powers of attorney, healthcare directives, and the difficult conversations that planning makes easier. We help families approach aging with a plan.

Medicaid

Medicaid Asset Protection Trust

If long-term care is on the horizon, the five-year Medicaid look-back rule is a hard deadline. We help families structure their assets so a nursing-home stay does not erase a lifetime of work.

After a death

Kentucky Probate

Probate is a court-supervised process to administer a deceased person's estate. It is technical, slow, and full of opportunities for mistakes. We administer estates so the family does not have to.

Disputes

Will Contests & Estate Litigation

When a will is contested — undue influence, capacity, fraud, improper execution — the dispute needs experienced counsel. We represent both contestants and proponents.

Modern

Digital Legacy Planning

Online accounts, cryptocurrency, family photos in the cloud, business intellectual property. A modern estate plan accounts for the digital side of your estate, not just the tangible one.

Cross-practice

Wrongful Death + Probate

When a death is the result of negligence, the estate has both a probate claim and a wrongful-death claim. The two intersect, and the order of operations matters. Our two practices work together.

Family business succession, special-needs trusts, charitable giving, blended-family considerations. Bring us the situation, and we'll tell you what the law allows and what we recommend.

A note from the partner
Estate planning is not about death. It is about decisions — who decides what, when, on whose behalf. The work of a good estate planner is to leave a family with fewer decisions to make at the worst moment of their lives. Brian M. Weber · Partner, Estate Planning
