Simplifying the Complexities of Law
At Johnson/Turner, we believe navigating the legal system shouldn’t feel overwhelming as it does. That’s why we’ve reimagined the way legal services are delivered—focusing on clarity, simplicity, and support at every step. Instead of requiring our clients to pay retainers and commit to hourly rates, we have packaged our services to offer our clients transparent and fixed price solutions to their legal problems. These packages are completely customizable to your individual legal needs and goals.

Trust-Based
Estate Plan
A Trust-Based Estate Plan offers a comprehensive and flexible way to manage your assets and legacy. By establishing a trust, you can avoid probate, simplify asset transfers, and maintain greater privacy and control over how your estate is distributed. This plan is ideal for protecting wealth, addressing unique family needs, and ensuring seamless estate management.
Ideal For those who
- Have complex assets or special family considerations
- Want to avoid probate and maintain privacy
- Seek greater control over how and when assets are distributed
Will-Based
Estate Plan
A Will-Based Estate Plan is a simple and effective way to ensure your wishes are honored. By creating a will, you can designate guardians for minor children, outline asset distribution, and provide clear guidance for your loved ones. This plan offers a solid foundation for those looking for a straightforward approach to estate planning.
Ideal For those who
- Want a clear, legally binding plan for their assets and loved ones
- Seek an affordable and effective estate planning solution
- Prefer a simple way to ensure their wishes are carried out
Estate Admin without court
Probate
Estate Administration Without Court is a streamlined solution for managing an estate when probate isn’t required. Our team provides expert guidance to help you close accounts, settle debts, and distribute assets efficiently—ensuring everything is handled correctly and with ease.
Ideal For those who
- Are managing an estate that doesn’t require formal probate
- Want a simpler, more cost-effective process
- Need expert guidance and support to ensure nothing is overlooked
Probate Court
Probate
Probate Court becomes necessary when an estate includes significant assets, such as real estate, or when legal complexities arise, like disputes among beneficiaries. This court-supervised process ensures debts are settled, assets are distributed properly, and the will is legally validated—providing clarity and resolution.
Ideal For those who
- Need formal court oversight to administer an estate
- Are facing disputes or legal challenges among beneficiaries
- Require comprehensive legal support to navigate probate
Beneficiary Representation
Probate
Beneficiary Representation ensures your interests are protected when you’re involved in a probate case but not the Personal Representative. Our legal team provides guidance, oversight, and advocacy to ensure the estate is handled properly and your rights are upheld.
Ideal For Those Who
- Are beneficiaries concerned about how the estate is being managed
- Want legal support to ensure their rights and interests are protected
- Need expert guidance without taking on full legal representation
