Probate
The Kentucky probate process is often expensive, time-consuming and downright confusing. And when you’re grieving the loss of a loved one, the last thing you want to have to deal with is legal matters surrounding his or her assets. Enlisting a skilled probate lawyer to help in these sorts of trying times is like lifting a heavy burden from you and your family’s shoulders. Bentley, George & Sparks know the ins and outs of Kentucky probate laws, and can help guide you through the process as quickly and painlessly as possible.
Wills
Wills provide a way for you to decide how you want to divide your property among your family after your passing. If you do not have a will in place, Kentucky law will determine how your assets will be divided. You should also have a will if you want to give any property to someone other than a family member after you die. As long as you are of sound mind and over the age of 18, you are eligible to draft a will. If you are interested in drafting a will, or would like more information about why you might need a will, contact Bentley, George & Sparks today.
