Put Your Probate Case in Better Hands


In the wake of great loss, you can trust Attorney Peter Brackney to assess your family’s legal responsibilities. Contact our Lexington, KY law firm for a free probate case evaluation.

Handle Your Loved One’s Will With Less Stress


Probate is the process of settling and administering estates, guardianships, curatorships and name changes. Most often, it involves the administration of a loved one’s estate after they’ve died.

A probate case can be opened if the deceased left a will, or if they died without a will. Brackney Law can help family members and loved ones navigate the probate process by getting a will admitted to probate, getting a personal representative appointed for the estate, advising the representative of ongoing responsibilities to the Court and taxing authorities.

Contact Brackney Law to schedule an appointment to guide you through the probate process.
