Frankfort Elder Law

Words cannot describe what Frankfort Elder Law did to our family. Suffice it to say, we will be filing a formal ethics complaint with the KY Bar Association.

Kari charged $15,000 to draw up a WILL we could’ve printed online and had it notarized, a bunch of useless trustee jargon (it’s a simple Will) that doesn’t apply to this estate, and now she doesn’t return my stepmother’s phone calls. She wouldn’t probate the Will as is necessary to settle the estate in Kentucky, causing us to find another attorney to do what’s needed. Wills are typically less than $2,500 in Lexington. Beware of elder care attorneys - they don’t take any special classes in law school to attach that designation to their profession. DO NOT RECOMMEND. I’d leave 0 stars if I could.

Regrettably used Kari Williams at Frankfort Elder Law, to get a decade old will edited and updated. She quoted and charged with no regret $800 for a simple will to be made. The only changes we wanted made (the original will was half of a page long) were a new address and a deletion of another family member's name that had already passed. The will was to be edited and copied with the new address only. We were in a rush to have this done due to an immediate surgery that resulted in the family member's death, but her price did not reflect our speediness of needing the will. It literally took two weeks!!! After the two weeks, we finally received the will in the mail. To our surprise, it contained several misspellings that were not originally on the will they were given. Because we had to wait well over two weeks, I had no choice but to go online to a website I found to get a new will made and it was only $150. She charged us $800 to re-copy our original will, only make two minor changes, and within doing so someone there misspelled several words and names in the will! I am assuming they typed a new will reading from the original and did not proofread the original. We literally had to throw that will away and it was not needed anyways because we had bought one online for a such lower price. There was no sense in contacting her or the law firm again. Lesson learned. Do your research online, there are better options and even in person better law firms to contact!

Friendly, knowledgeable and caring.
