Estate Planning - Providing Soft Landings for Families
Growing up on a small farm in Central Iowa, I learned the importance of hard work, respecting my elders, and contributing locally. I graduated from Iowa State University, and eventually attended law school at the University of Wyoming. I have practiced law for several decades, focusing in recent years on estate planning, and I enjoy it.
When my grandfather passed away without a will when I was a young man, my family was devastated, as the government took 70% of his estate. That lasting impression drove me to begin helping people avoid such difficult ends, and instead provide a soft landing for their families.
That's what we do at Johnson Legal, PLLC. We provide soft landings for families. Give us a call. The initial estate planning consultation is free.

Our Story
- Q. Help needed for Probate in or near Franklin NC Thank you
- A: We'd be happy to help. Call us at 910-319-7373. Johnson Legal.
- Q. How to change ownership of a s-corp?
- A: It depends on a number of issues. First, what type of entity is your company? Is it an LLC or Corporation? Either can elect to be an S-Corp as this is simply an election on how to be taxed by the IRS.
Either way, it would be wise to add your wife as an owner by creating a set of company minutes with such motions, then issuing certificate of ownership for you and your wife and updating documents with the NC Secretary of State's office. This can usually be done via the Annual Report, which will shortly be due.
- Q. Can POD designations ever be reversed in NJ?
- A: You will need to post this question on the NJ portal, not here in NC. We are not licensed in the state of NJ.
