Kentucky’s estate and trust laws have changed. What could that mean for your family?
Senate Bill 50 brings significant updates to the Commonwealth’s estate planning and probate laws, including:
• Expanded inheritance rights and protections for surviving spouses.
• Streamlined probate procedures and greater privacy for certain estate financial records.
• New options for asset protection trusts and updated rules for managing and modifying trusts.
Whether you already have an estate plan or are ready to create one, now is a good time to review how these changes may affect your wishes.
