About
I created KYEstates to share and discuss tax and non-tax recent developments of interest to the estate planning, estate administration, fiduciary, and wealth management community in Kentucky.
Trusts & Estates combine several elements. The first element is “family,” or what Graham Greene referred to in a different context as The Human Factor. The second element is “money”. These first two elements may be the last private areas of American life. Usually, a third element presents: taxes, and when that is the case one has ample opportunities for sparring with Big Brother. Finally, often, there is a fourth element: the family business. These elements ensure that no engagement is ever quite the same, and often combine in various ways to create very interesting and challenging situations.
From the date KYEstates began on February 12, 2010 through December 17, 2010, the site could have been regarded as attorney advertising in Kentucky, and it was attorney advertising in Florida. As of December 17, 2010, I ceased the active practice of law. After such date, this site is not attorney advertising because I am not a practicing attorney.

If you thought the photos rotating through the media pane of pages on KYEstates evoke “Spring Break, Florida, 1948″, you’d be correct. (Most, but not all, of them date from 1946 through 1949 – the bright early years of our late American Century.) They are public domain images from the State Library and Archives of Florida. You might enjoy browsing their online collections, available at Florida Memory.
