Kentucky Estate Planning And Probate Lawyers
It is a mistake to delay in putting an estate plan together. Without an estate plan, your family may have to work through a confusing and stressful process. This may include managing your remaining debts and possibly dividing assets among family members with little or no direction from you. It could mean the court will ultimately make determinations regarding your estate. Most importantly, it could mean a diminishment of your estate due to expense and taxation.
Our Kentucky estate planning attorneys at Bamberger & Brancato, PSC, can help you put together a plan that will prevent any further complications for your family. For decades, our Kentucky probate lawyers have assisted clients with their estate planning needs.

Who Inherits if There is No Will in KY?
If a person dies without leaving a will in the state of Kentucky the estate is distributed in accordance with the state's laws of intestacy.
- In such cases, any surviving spouse or unmarried partner is first in line to inherit, followed by any children and/or grandchildren of the deceased.
- If there are no immediate family members, then the estate is passed down to more distant relatives, such as grandparents, aunts and uncles, cousins and siblings.
- If there are still no beneficiaries after searching for distant relatives then the estate passes to the state.
It is strongly recommended that you enlist the help of an experienced lawyer if a person dies without a will. The probate and estate planning attorneys from Bamberger & Brancato, PSC have advanced knowledge of probate law and can provide crucial guidance in navigating the complex legal procedures associated with estate distribution.
Without the help of an attorney, obtaining assets, paying taxes and creditor claims, and settling any disputes over the validity of a will can be tricky and time consuming.
