Estate Planning & Probate

Louisville, Kentucky Estate Planning Lawyers

Wills • Trusts • Powers of Attorney • Probate Administration

Regardless of the size of your family's estate, it is important to have an estate plan in the event of death or incapacity. Our experienced attorneys will help you make decisions about inheritance, preservation of assets, and taking advantage of the inheritance tax exemption through relatively simple planning strategies.

English & Morris, P.S.C. offers forty years of legal acumen in estate planning law and estate administration. Based in Louisville, Kentucky, we provide comprehensive services to clients in Jefferson, Oldham, Bullitt, Shelby, and Meade counties.

At our family based firm, you are assured of personal service by a qualified licensed attorney, not a paralegal. Robert English or Colleen English will meet you to discuss your goals, establish a will and trusts, and plan for the unexpected.

Individualized Estate Plans
We can draft a simple will or a complex estate plan, according to your individual needs. We address:

• Your last will and testament, to designate how assets will be distributed
• Trusts to preserve assets or provide for family members
• A living will and health care power of attorney to address medical wishes
• Durable power of attorney to maintain your personal affairs if you are unable
• Tax planning

Probate Administration
If you were named as the executor of the will of a family member or friend, or if a probate court has appointed you as the representative of a loved one's estate, we can guide you through your required duties.

Settling an estate is time-consuming and sometimes complex. We assist the executor or administrator in completing estate administration tasks in the most efficient and cost-effective manner:

• Marshaling assets
• Paying debts and taxes of the deceased
• Distributing remaining assets to heirs
• Filing all documents with the probate court
