We often hear these questions: “Do I really need a will?” and “If I don’t have a will, won’t everything just go to my spouse?” People are surprised to hear our answers. If you do not have a will, Kentucky has one for you in the form of intestacy statutes. This means the state gets to decide who inherits your property, not you. If you want to make sure your property and assets are distributed according to your exact wishes, you need a will. Also, if you pass away leaving a spouse and other living relatives/descendants, your spouse will only receive half of your estate with these other individuals receiving the other half of your estate. If you want to make sure your spouse inherits your entire estate upon your death, you need a will. It’s that simple. Our estate planning services include:
