A Kentucky-only catalog.Drafted from Kentucky statutes.Reviewed by Durward Elton Johnson.
Bluegrass Cornerstone is the master Kentucky estate-planning resource — every document on the catalog drafted from a Kentucky statute, reviewed by an active Kentucky-licensed attorney before delivery. ElderTrust and FamilyPlan are starting points tuned to where you are in life — same Kentucky attorney, same documents.
Compete on Kentucky depth, not national breadth.
The national legal-template platforms ship 50-state coverage. That breadth is impressive on a marketing page, and it is the reason their templates are necessarily generic — a document that has to work in 50 jurisdictions cannot match the structure of any one state's statutory form.
Bluegrass Cornerstone is the opposite move. Kentucky only, by design. Every document on the catalog is drafted from a Kentucky statute — not adapted from a generic national template. The Kentucky statutory power of attorney is the form prescribed by KRS 457.420; the Living Will Directive is the form prescribed by KRS 311.625; the will execution follows KRS 394.040. We can fit the document to the statute because we only ship in one jurisdiction.
The trade-off is real. If you live outside Kentucky, this is not the right product for you. If you are a Kentuckian whose document is going to be relied on by a Kentucky bank, hospital, county clerk, or court — Kentucky-fit is exactly what you want.
Why these prices? → Honest about the math behind a second-career practice.

The attorney behind every document.
Durward Elton Johnson is a Kentucky-licensed attorney with twenty years of legal practice. From May 2005 through July 2025 he was a uniformed attorney for the United States Army Judge Advocate General's Corps — combat-deployment veteran of Operation Enduring Freedom and Operation Iraqi Freedom. He retired and came home to Elizabethtown to do work he'd been preparing to do for a long time: estate planning, real estate, and small-business matters for Kentucky clients, one matter at a time.
The Bluegrass Cornerstone catalog reflects the documents Durward Elton Johnson drafts most often in his Kentucky practice. He reads every document before it leaves the firm. The fees stay flat and published.
Cornerstone is the self-serve door. Johnson Legal is the other.
Bluegrass Cornerstone handles the Kentucky documents we've built to draft for you online at a flat fee — wills, powers of attorney, healthcare directives, deeds, trusts, and the document bundles in your case plan. If it's on this catalog, you can do it here start to finish, with the attorney reviewing it before it's delivered.
Anything beyond the catalog is a Johnson Legal matter — the same firm, the same Kentucky attorney, working with you directly. Custom wills and trusts, business formation, commercial leases, real estate, and probate: the work that needs an attorney's hand rather than a form.
Same firm either way. Durward Elton Johnson stands behind both doors.
