Cooper Law serves families throughout the Cincinnati region, including Cincinnati proper, Hamilton County, plus the surrounding communities of Mason, West Chester, Blue Ash, Anderson Township, Hyde Park, Mt. Lookout, and the Northern Kentucky cities of Covington, Newport, Fort Thomas, Florence, Independence, and Crestview Hills. For clients connected to local hospitals or facilities — Christ Hospital, UC Health, Mercy Health, TriHealth (Bethesda North, Good Samaritan), Cincinnati Children’s, St. Elizabeth Healthcare (NKY), and the broader Greater Cincinnati medical network — remote and (where applicable) on-site emergency planning is available.
The Cincinnati metro is one of the few places in the country where it’s genuinely common to live in one state, work in another, and own property in a third. A family might live in Fort Thomas (Kentucky), work in downtown Cincinnati (Ohio), and have a vacation cabin in Indiana. Each of those connections creates potential probate exposure in a different state.
This is exactly the situation Cooper Law’s three-state license is built for. Without it, families in this region often end up needing two or three different attorneys — or one attorney who isn’t actually licensed where some of their property is. Either path creates expensive gaps. Working with one attorney licensed in KY, IN, and OH means your plan accounts for the full picture in one coordinated engagement.
Ohio law also has some quirks worth noting — the spousal elective share rule, the specific Transfer on Death Designation Affidavit for real estate, and Ohio’s approach to durable powers of attorney all differ meaningfully from Kentucky’s. Documents drafted for Kentucky won’t always work the same way in Ohio. Cooper Law drafts Cincinnati-area documents to comply with Ohio law specifically.
