A shed, driveway, fence, retaining wall, or landscaping project may seem straightforward—until it crosses, or appears to cross, a property line.

For Northern Kentucky homeowners, even a small encroachment can lead to questions about ownership, access, maintenance, and property use. Before building, moving, or removing an improvement near a boundary, review your deed and survey carefully.

If a property line or use of the land is disputed, legal guidance can help you understand the issues and available next steps. Contact Doug Peterson Law to discuss a property or boundary concern.

If your current plan does not reflect these realities, or if it has been some time since your last review, now is the time to revisit it. Contact us today to discuss how we can help you plan for the future with confidence.

As you might know, August is National Make a Will Month — making now the perfect time to revisit one of the most crucial parts of an estate plan.

Wills provide clear legal direction so your intentions can be carried out the way you want upon your passing. Without a will in place, such decisions may be left to the state, which might not carry out your intentions the way you would prefer.

With this in mind, we wanted to share a brief overview of some commonly asked questions about wills. Swipe for more information.

If you would like to review your current will or talk through how it fits into your overall estate plan, feel free to reach out. We are always happy to walk through your situation with you and help identify any gaps or updates that may be worth addressing.

When evaluating a property, what you cannot see can matter just as much as what you can.

Easements are a common example of this. These legal rights allow third parties, such as utility companies, to access portions of your property, even after ownership changes. That access can limit where you build, expand, or make improvements.

Here are a few key points to keep in mind:

🔹Easements often remain in place permanently, regardless of ownership.
🔹They may not be obvious without reviewing property records.
🔹They can impact future plans, such as additions or landscaping.

Understanding easements before closing can help you avoid unexpected limitations down the road. If you are purchasing or reviewing a property, our team can help identify any existing easements and explain how they may affect your plans. Reach out today, and we can get started.

As real estate lawyers, we are often asked what it means to purchase property through an LLC or a trust. While buying through an LLC or certain types of trusts can offer advantages such as liability protection, ease of estate planning, and more, it can also change how the transaction works both legally and practically. Swipe for more information.

Buying property through an LLC or trust is not just a naming decision; it is a choice that changes the legal framework of the transaction. Because of that, the structure should be carefully reviewed by an experienced real estate lawyer.

That said, if you are considering buying property through an LLC or trust, we can help you review the structure, identify potential risks, and ensure the transaction documents align with your goals. Give our team a call, and we can get started.
