Compassionate Estate Planning and Elder Law

About Cochran Gersh

Cochran Gersh Law Office (formerly Gersh Law Office) is a specialized legal practice dedicated to helping families navigate the complexities of aging, asset protection, and legacy planning. The firm is led by Christina Rueff Cochran, an attorney with over 20 years of experience who brings a deeply personal perspective to her work. Having cared for aging family members herself, she understands the emotional and financial toll that long-term care decisions can take on a family. The firm operates with a clear mission: to provide Louisville residents with accessible, high-quality resources for Medicaid planning and estate administration. Unlike general practice firms, this office focuses exclusively on estate and elder law, ensuring that clients receive up-to-date advice on changing regulations and tax laws.

Areas of Practice

• Estate Planning: Drafting comprehensive wills, revocable living trusts, and powers of attorney to ensure that a client's wishes are honored and their family is protected from unnecessary court interference.
• Elder Law and Medicaid: Guiding seniors through the intricate eligibility requirements for Medicaid, helping them preserve their life savings while securing necessary nursing home or in-home care.
• Probate Administration: assisting executors in the management of a deceased loved one's estate, handling creditor notices, asset distribution, and court filings to close the estate efficiently.
• Trust Administration: providing counsel to trustees on their fiduciary duties, tax obligations, and the proper management of trust assets.

Welcoming Middletown Location

Situated just off Shelbyville Road, this location allows clients to avoid the stress and parking fees associated with downtown firms. The office at 916 Lily Creek Road is designed to be comfortable for seniors and their families, offering a supportive environment for discussing sensitive topics.
