Find the right way to pass your Kentucky property
Answer four short questions about your property and your goals. We'll show you the instrument Kentucky law most commonly uses in a situation like yours — and D. Elton Johnson confirms the right one for your facts, and drafts it, before anything is prepared.
This tool gathers facts about your property and explains the Kentucky instruments typically used to pass real estate. It is information, not legal advice specific to your matter. Cornerstone is provided by Johnson Legal PLLC (a Kentucky law firm); D. Elton Johnson, a Kentucky-licensed attorney (KY Bar #101547), confirms the right instrument for your facts and drafts every deed before anything is delivered.
- This tool explains and captures — it doesn't recommend. It shows what Kentucky law most commonly does; D. Elton Johnson makes the call for your situation.
- Your attorney is D. Elton Johnson, Kentucky Bar #101547, owner of Johnson Legal PLLC (the firm that operates Cornerstone). Kentucky law requires that the deed itself be drafted by a licensed Kentucky attorney.
- Nothing is charged here. When you choose to move forward, you review and sign an engagement letter — with the fee and scope — before any payment, and drafting begins only after that.
- Kentucky has no transfer-on-death deed for real property as of the 2026 legislative session. The instruments that exist are a survivorship deed, a life-estate deed, or a transfer through your will — your answers point to the one that fits.
