Our Practice Areas
Elder Law
Elder law focuses on the legal needs of aging individuals and their families. At Turner Law, we help clients plan for the future, protect their assets, and ensure their wishes are respected as they navigate the legal and financial challenges that often accompany aging. Our firm assists individuals and families with a wide range of elder law matters, including guardianships, conservatorships, estate planning, and probate administration. We understand that these situations often arise during difficult or uncertain times, and we work closely with families to provide clear guidance and practical solutions.
Whether you are planning ahead for long-term care, managing the affairs of a loved one who can no longer make decisions independently, or navigating the court process for guardianship or conservatorship, Turner Law provides compassionate and knowledgeable representation. Our goal is to help protect your loved ones, preserve family assets, and provide peace of mind during life’s most important transitions.
Wills, Trusts, Estate Planning & Probate
Planning for the future is one of the most important steps you can take to protect your family, your assets, and your legacy. At Turner Law, we assist individuals and families with thoughtful estate planning and guide them through the legal process when a loved one passes away.
Our firm helps clients create comprehensive estate plans that may include wills, trusts, powers of attorney, and healthcare directives. These essential documents allow you to clearly outline your wishes, appoint trusted individuals to act on your behalf if needed, and ensure your assets are distributed according to your intentions. Careful planning today can help minimize confusion, avoid unnecessary court involvement, and provide peace of mind for you and your loved ones.
In addition to planning services, Turner Law also represents families and personal representatives in probate and estate administration. Probate is the legal process of settling a person’s estate after death, which may involve validating a will, addressing debts, and distributing assets to beneficiaries. Our firm works to make this process as efficient and straightforward as possible while providing clear guidance during a difficult time.
Whether you are preparing for the future or navigating the administration of an estate, Turner Law is committed to helping clients move forward with clarity, confidence, and trusted legal support.Fiduciary Services
Public Administrator, 17th Judicial District (Adams and Broomfield Counties)
Christopher Turner was appointed as the public administrator for the 17th Judicial District, on December 21st 2021. A Public Administrator is a private individual appointed by the District Court to oversee and manage the assets of certain individuals and to administer estates when someone passes away without a person who is willing or able to handle the estate. Although appointed by the Court, a Public Administrator is not a government employee.
Public Administrators are required to be bonded and must provide a complete accounting to the Court for every case they oversee. They are also responsible for filing annual reports with the Court that summarize their activities and the estates they have administered.
Private Fiduciary Services
Turner Law can serve as a private fiduciary when the nominated fiduciary is unable or unwilling to act, particularly in situations where estate or trust matters have become complex or contentious. The firm is also available to step in when there are no family members willing or able to assume the responsibility of administering an estate or trust. In addition, Turner Law provides guidance to fiduciaries on all aspects of estate administration, including creditor claims, insolvent estates, and the management or sale of businesses, real estate, and other complex assets owned by a decedent. The firm assists with administering a decedent’s business interests, continuing or resolving pending litigation involving the decedent, and evaluating or pursuing claims on behalf of the estate involving misconduct, misappropriation, or breach of fiduciary duty.
