Estate Planning, Probate and Trust Administration

Our estate planning attorneys help individuals and families protect what matters most—today and for the generations ahead. Whether you’re planning for the future, navigating the loss of a loved one, or facing a dispute involving a trust or estate, we provide clear guidance, steady counsel, and thoughtful solutions tailored to your goals.

We offer a full range of services, including:

• Estate Planning – Living trusts, wills, powers of attorney, and advance healthcare directives designed to avoid unnecessary probate, preserve privacy, and make the transition of assets as smooth as possible.
• Probate – Practical support for executors and families through the probate process, with an emphasis on efficiency, accuracy, and minimizing stress.
• Trust Administration – Guidance for trustees in fulfilling fiduciary duties, managing trust assets, preparing accountings, and making proper distributions.
• Trust & Estate Litigation – Strong representation when conflicts arise, including contested trusts and wills, undue influence and capacity claims, fiduciary breach matters, and accounting disputes.

For clients with larger or more complex estates, we develop strategic estate tax planning to help reduce tax exposure and preserve family wealth. We also coordinate closely with clients and their tax advisors to ensure the plan is implemented with the bigger picture in mind.

We assist families with conservatorships, providing legal safeguards for vulnerable adults who can no longer manage personal or financial affairs. For loved ones with disabilities, we prepare special needs trusts that help protect eligibility for important benefits while providing long-term support and stability.

We also help business owners and entrepreneurial families align estate planning with long-term succession goals—so ownership interests, decision-making authority, and wealth transfer planning work together smoothly.

With a commitment to clarity, compassion, and personalized service, we’re here to help you plan ahead, protect your assets, and move forward with confidence.

Whether you’re looking to create a will, establish trusts, or navigate complex estate matters, partner Brandon P. Johnson and his team can guide you every step of the way.
