How much does a will or living trust cost in Frankfort?

Do I need a will or a living trust?

It depends on your assets and goals. A will is simpler and cheaper; a living trust can avoid probate and keep matters private. A short consultation with a Frankfort estate attorney will tell you which fits.

How much does probate cost and how long does it take?

Probate cost and timeline vary by estate and county. Simple Frankfort-area estates can take several months, while complex ones run over a year. Ask the attorney for a realistic estimate for your situation.
