Losing a loved one is never easy. What’s even harder is having to grieve while spending the next six months (minimum!) sorting out a loved one’s legal affairs through an expensive, public process in court.

The good news is that you can spare your family from this court process — called probate — after your passing by setting up a revocable living trust. An elder law attorney can help you create this trust as part of your estate plan, ensuring that you are the one who determines how your property and possessions are settled, not a government official.

“Every adult should have a revocable living trust,” says attorney Nathan Mitchell, owner of Stone Legal Group, PLLC. “It keeps your estate private and avoids probate. It allows for your spouse and children to immediately access any funds you want to give them without having to get permission from the court. And, it allows
for long-term planning for distributing your estate according to your wishes long after you’re gone.”

The team at Stone Legal Group has been helping Louisvillians build strong estate plans for more than three decades. By providing expert guidance through the complicated legal system and carefully ensuring that each necessary document is in place, the team helps families gain peace of mind knowing their estate will be handled privately, professionally, and as they planned.
