Estate Planning
Estate planning consists of appointing agents to care for you if you are incapacitated and creating beneficiary designations to transfer assets upon your death.
Wills
A last will and testament establishes the beneficiaries of your assets, your executor, and the guardian of your minor children upon your death.
Trusts
A trust is a legal document created for various reasons, including to avoid probate or to manage and protect assets for young or special needs beneficiaries.
Probate
Probate is the court process of collecting a deceased person’s assets and distributing them according to his or her will, or if there is no will, via state law.

Helping Families With For 30+ Years
Favret Law, LLC is a boutique law firm that focuses exclusively on wills, trusts, estate planning, and probate. We help individuals plan for death and incapacity. We also help individuals who are responsible for administering a loved one’s estate after his or her death.
When meeting with clients who want to plan for the transfer of assets upon their death, we identify each client’s unique needs. We recommend various options and prepare the necessary documents to accomplish our client’s goals, which may include the following:
- Making the transfer of assets post-death as simple as possible for the client’s family/beneficiaries
- Avoiding the time and expense of probate court
- Appointing a guardian to raise minor children
- Protecting a child's inheritance until they are mature enough to handle the money
- Taking care of a spouse from a subsequent marriage while preserving the inheritance for the children of a previous marriage
- Providing for a disabled or handicapped beneficiary
- Providing for a beneficiary who is a spendthrift
- Avoiding or minimizing estate taxes
During this process, we also ensure our clients have the proper documentation so that the appropriate person can make health care decisions and financial decisions for them should they become incapacitated.
In addition, our lawyers also assist individuals with the logistics of transferring assets after a loved one passes away. We guide individuals who are acting as a fiduciary of an estate (i.e., executors) through the probate process, as well as trustees in the distribution and termination of trusts after the death of the trust maker. We advise the fiduciary of his or her legal responsibilities and provide tips for making the process as simple as possible.
Attorneys Bruce Favret and Elizabeth Favret are a father-daughter Wills, Trusts, and Probate Lawyer team. Both are licensed in Ohio and Kentucky. Evening and weekend appointments are available. Our lawyers are also happy to meet clients in their home, the hospital, or nursing home.
