Real Estate and Title Work
Maximizing Real Estate Financial and Tax Benefits
Do-it-yourself and online options exist for home buying and selling. While you may think you are saving money by printing and filling out forms, the process is much more complicated. Cost-efficiency is often temporary as legal issues over the title and other matters require the need for legal counsel.
At Koukol Johnson LLC, we provide a full range of cost-effective real estate services in all phases of real estate transactions from lawyers possessing experience and unique insight. Call us to see how we can help you complete your real estate transaction.
Protecting Valuable Investments For Real Estate Buyers And Sellers
We represent buyers and sellers in all aspects of commercial and residential real estate transactions. On behalf of business property owners, we can draft and negotiate rental leases. Landlords dealing with nonpaying tenants need help with evictions, rent collection and secure possession of the premises. We do it all!
One of largest challenges in any type of real estate transaction involves title work. Attention to detail is vital to determine the chain of a commercial or residential property’s title and related insurance claims.
At our Omaha law office, we have an associate on staff with insight that comes from 10 years of experience in title opinions and litigation.
Additional areas of our comprehensive real estate practice include:
● Real estate developments and sub-developments
● City/municipal planning and zoning
● Board of adjustment proceedings
● Property tax appeals over valuation
Dedicated To Protecting The Rights Of Creditors
We also represent financial institutions in foreclosure proceedings, specifically claims of notification and other disputes. While the rights of the property owner need protection, the rights of the financial institution that financed the mortgage require an equal level of advocacy. With decades of financial institution experience, we can help creditors of all types protect their interests.

Guardianships & Conservatorships
Protection For Children And Vulnerable Adults
A family member unable to make responsible financial or personal decisions often requires legal protections that come with guardianships and conservatorships. These important roles represent bonds of trust as they manage the affairs of minors and adults who cannot care for themselves.
Helping You Make Important Decisions To Protect Your Family Member
At Koukol Johnson LLC, our attorneys are committed to helping the legal system work for you when decisions must be made about the care of a loved one. Fewer responsibilities are more sacred than the protection of minor children and vulnerable adults. You want to ensure that the individual you select can be trusted to focus on their best interests.
- Guardians are court-appointed to protect family members unable to care for themselves. Guardianships provide them the authority to make housing, medical and educational decisions on behalf of the protected person.
- Conservators are responsible for making financial decisions for those suffering from illness or disability. Once appointed by the court, they manage the finances of the protected individual.
Appointing a guardian, conservator or someone to serve in both capacities is one of the most emotionally charged aspects of estate planning. The role represents a high level of legal responsibility and a strong bond of personal trust. Simply stated, it represents one of your most important decisions.
While other relatives may dispute your choice, our job is to work with you and your loved ones to put the well-being of a family member first.
