Wills, durable powers of attorney, advance directives, trusts, and the in-person signings that make them valid under Kentucky law. Drafted to your situation. Read by Elton before delivery.
A Kentucky estate plan, in most cases, is three documents done together: a will (KRS 394.040), a durable power of attorney (KRS Chapter 457), and an advance directive (KRS 311.621–643). For some clients it's also a revocable trust, naming a trustee and funding the trust during life. For clients with business interests, it's also a succession plan that ties the operating agreement and the will together.
What it isn't: a one-page document, a checkbox in a financial-planning app, or a template that the same firm ships to every state. State law shapes every line — and in Kentucky, a will signed by one witness is invalid no matter how clean the language is. The shape matters.
Drafted to your situation. Wet-ink-signed in person at the Elizabethtown office. Two witnesses provided; notary provided where required. Originals in your hands when you leave. Optional KRS 394.300 court-deposit walkthrough.
For clients with privacy concerns, blended families, or out-of-state property. Trust drafting, trustee designations, and the funding paperwork that actually moves assets into the trust during life.
Special-needs trusts that protect a beneficiary's eligibility for benefits while still receiving an inheritance. Coordinated with the will and the POA.
For clients who own a small business: aligning the operating agreement, buy-sell provisions, and the will so that ownership transfers cleanly on death or incapacity.
Irrevocable life insurance trusts (ILIT), third-party and first-party special-needs trusts, generation-skipping/dynasty trusts, charitable remainder/lead trusts, qualified personal residence trusts (QPRT). Drafted by Johnson Legal directly with attorney-supervised execution included. See /flat-fees for the JL Direct complex-trust price.
Have a will draft from elsewhere — an old document, a template, or a kit from another provider? I'll review it for Kentucky compliance and flag what needs to change.

The Cornerstone catalog is a clean fit for a straightforward Kentucky estate. It's the wrong shape if any of these apply: a second marriage with children from a prior relationship; a beneficiary with a disability who needs a special-needs trust; active business interests you want to direct on death; real property in another state; or a contested family situation where a relative is likely to challenge the will. If any of those apply, please don't use a catalog document. Engage the firm directly under JL Direct — we'll figure out the right shape.
