Estate Planning, Guardianships & Adoptions

Planning for Your Future

Adults at any stage of life have a need for estate planning services. At a minimum, this should include a will and an advance health care directive (living will). A marriage, the birth of a child, impending retirement or other significant event should cause you to review your estate documents. Estate planning — done wisely — can help you provide for your family's needs and give you peace of mind.

At Deitz, Shields & Freeburger, L.L.P., we provide a full range of services in the area of estate law to people in western Kentucky and southwestern Indiana.

Contact our firm for a consultation. A lawyer at our firm can review your situation and discuss your needs.

  • Estate planning
  • Wills
  • Trusts

  • Medicaid planning and nursing home care
  • Guardianships

The Estate Planning Process

In advising you, we will learn about your family, your financial situation and your long-term goals. Then we will develop legal vehicles which can help you provide for your family and achieve those goals. As time goes on and your family or financial situation changes, we can amend or update a will or other estate documents quickly and affordably.

As well as providing a basic will, power of attorney or living will, we can also provide more sophisticated estate planning solutions. For example, if you need to provide for the supplemental needs of a disabled adult child, we can develop a plan which provides for those needs while preserving the child's eligibility for Medicaid and other benefits. We can also address your needs in the area of business or farm succession, estate tax minimization, and other concerns.

You can depend on Deitz, Shields & Freeburger, L.L.P. to provide you with sound guidance and real solutions regarding your estate matters.
