Family Law

• Guardianship
  In addition, in the absence of a will, the court will determine who will care for your minor children and their property if the other parent is unavailable or unfit to do so. Should you make a will, you are able to put a guardianship provision in your will which would designate your preferred guardian of your children upon your passing.

Trusts and Estates

• Estate Planning
  At Greg Taylor & Associates, we have a team of skilled estate planning advisors ready to assist you in making an estate plan that complements your overall financial goals. In addition to helping you plan, our staff will walk through the entire process with you so your plan is implemented and executed according to your wishes.
• Wills
  First, Kentucky law does allow a holographic will, provided the will is written entirely in the your own handwriting. No typewritten sections are allowed and the will must identify who you are, that this is your last will, identify an Executor for your estate, and make a disposition of your property, as well as be signed and dated. This type of will is not common and there are various pitfalls when someone not versed in the law attempts to make such a will.
• Trusts
  A trust is an arrangement under which one person, called a trustee, holds legal title to property for another person, called a beneficiary. You can be the trustee of your own living trust, keeping full control over all property held in trust.
• Power of Attorney
  We will work with you to draft not only your will, but also your living will, powers of attorney, and necessary trust documents. Our attorneys have years of experience working with clients in this area and we can tailor a plan to meet your specific needs. Our firm founder, Greg Taylor, is particularly experienced in this area, being a former adjunct professor of Estate Planning at Murray State University.
• Probate
  We understand the importance of administering an estate after a loved one’s passing. We will help guide you through each step of the process.

Finance Law
