Estate Planning & Probate
Proudly serving Kentucky families from our Louisville office.
We Help You Look Out for Those You Love
No one likes talking about death and wills, but as grim and sad as the circumstances can be surrounding these topics, they're necessary to ensuring your loved ones know what to do when you're not around.
To put it simply: estate planning is the best way you can still look out for your family after you're gone or no longer able to do so yourself. The Louisville estate planning attorneys at East End Elder Law can help you prepare a plan that protects everyone you care about.

Without a plan, state law decides who gets what — and it may not match your wishes.
Avoid probate delays

Plan for incapacity
Powers of attorney and directives ensure someone you trust can act if you cannot.
Peace of mind
Knowing your affairs are in order is one of the greatest gifts you can give your family.
What We Can Prepare for You
Every estate plan is tailored to your family's specific needs and goals.
Wills
A will allows you to name an executor to carry out the distribution of your estate. This person ensures that beneficiaries receive the property you wish them to receive — and that your final wishes are honored exactly as you intended.
- Simple & complex wills
- Executor designation
- Beneficiary planning
- Pour-over wills
Trusts
Trusts protect the assets you wish to transfer to someone — such as a minor child — while keeping them in the care of a trustee until the right time. They can also help your estate avoid the cost and delay of probate.
- Revocable living trusts
- Irrevocable trusts
- Special needs trusts
- Trust administration
Powers of Attorney
A power of attorney allows you to give someone the authority to manage your finances when you are incapacitated — such as by illness or injury. Without one, your family may need to go to court to act on your behalf.
- Durable financial power of attorney
- Healthcare power of attorney
- Limited powers of attorney
- Springing powers of attorney
Advanced Medical Directives
Advanced medical directives are in effect as long as you're still alive. They give your family members clear instructions on how to make medical decisions for you when you're incapacitated — including end-of-life care decisions.
- Living wills
- Healthcare surrogate designations
- Do-not-resuscitate orders
- POLST forms
Probate Administration
When a loved one passes, we guide families through the probate process — handling court filings, creditor notices, asset inventories, and final distributions so you can focus on grieving and healing rather than paperwork.
- Probate court filings
- Creditor notice & resolution
- Asset inventory & appraisal
- Estate distribution
