Campbell County, KY Estate Planning & Elder Law
Estate planning, elder law, and special needs planning for families in Newport, Fort Thomas, Alexandria, and beyond.
Serving Families in Campbell County
Just across the Licking River from our Covington office, Campbell County blends river-city life in Newport and Bellevue with the established neighborhoods of Fort Thomas and the wide-open country around Alexandria. Many residents have lived in the same home for decades, and they want to stay there as long as they can.
That is why so many Campbell County families come to us about elder law: planning for the cost of care, protecting a spouse, and making sure decisions stay in trusted hands. We also help parents and grandparents create special needs trusts that provide for a loved one without putting important benefits at risk.

In Kentucky, probate and guardianship cases are generally heard by the district court in the county where the person lived, with filings made through the circuit court clerk’s office. Like Kenton, Campbell County has two county seats, Alexandria and Newport. For Newport and Fort Thomas families, our office is only a few minutes away, which makes in-person meetings easy.

Campbell County Questions & Answers
Start with powers of attorney and healthcare directives, then talk about how future care might be paid for. Planning early usually preserves more options for staying at home.
Usually not. A direct inheritance can affect needs-based benefits. Leaving gifts to a third-party special needs trust is often a better way to help.
Not at all. Our Covington office is just across the Licking River from Newport, and we are happy to meet by phone or video too.
