When a business misleads you — through false advertising, deceptive sales tactics, or hidden fees — Kentucky law provides more than just a breach of contract claim. The Kentucky Consumer Protection Act (KCPA), codified at KRS 367.110 through KRS 367.300, gives consumers a powerful tool to fight back against unfair and deceptive trade practices, with…
Parents sometimes name two or more children as co-executors, thinking it will keep things fair. In practice, co-executor arrangements often create more problems than they solve. When co-executors disagree about how to administer the estate — whether to sell the family home, how to value assets, which creditors to pay, or how quickly to distribute…
When an aging parent can no longer make decisions about their health, finances, or daily care, adult children often face the difficult question of whether to seek guardianship. In Kentucky, guardianship is a court-supervised process that transfers decision-making authority from an incapacitated person to a court-appointed guardian. It is a significant legal step — one…

You lost your case at trial, and you believe the judge made a legal error. Or the other side won on a motion that you believe was wrongly decided. In Kentucky, you have the right to appeal — but the appellate process is very different from the trial court. Understanding how appeals work, what the…
When someone dies with outstanding debts, those debts do not simply disappear. Creditors have the right to make claims against the estate, and the personal representative has a legal obligation to address them. For beneficiaries, understanding how the creditor claims process works in Kentucky is essential — because the estate’s debts are paid before any…
Fence lines, driveways, sheds, and hedgerows — boundary disputes between neighbors are among the most persistent civil conflicts in Kentucky. These disputes often simmer for years before erupting into litigation, and by the time they reach a courtroom, both sides have invested significant emotion and money.
