Estate Administration

A death affects the living, especially the individual’s spouse. Expertise in legal matters is vital at a time like this, but Diane believes that many bereaved families need additional support.

Diane and her staff are committed to providing ongoing emotional and spiritual support, beyond the technical tasks required to administer the estate. Upon a client’s death, Diane Johnson administers the estate according to the client’s wishes, based on Ohio law and any will or trusts. In addition to professional legal services, Diane’s practice offers skilled, compassionate grief counseling at no cost to the survivors.

“In all my professional roles, I go beyond the technical service to focus on the whole person. In this way, I carry out my responsibilities as an attorney with the same caring attitude I showed as a nurse and as the owner of a home health care agency.”

“Throughout my career, I have seen that clients who have suffered a bereavement need professional advice in settling the estate, but they also need compassionate support as they rebuild their lives. I’ve set up my legal practice to meet the needs of the whole person and to give my clients that compassionate support.”
