A will is the foundation of any estate plan, ensuring your property is distributed according to your wishes. Our attorneys will draft, review, and update wills to keep them legally sound and up to date with changes in Missouri law. For more comprehensive planning, we establish trusts, including revocable living trusts, which can help you avoid probate administration, protect your heirs, and keep your estate private.
A living trust allows you to maintain control of your property during your lifetime while providing for seamless transfer to your beneficiaries after death. By creating a revocable living trust, families can bypass the delays and costs of probate, reduce the risk of trust litigation, and gain greater control over their estate planning matters.
Designating a power of attorney ensures that someone you trust can handle financial or healthcare decisions if you become incapacitated. Without this vital legal document, your loved ones may face costly and stressful district court proceedings to gain decision-making authority.
Families often need to protect minors, elderly parents, or vulnerable adults who cannot make decisions for themselves. Our attorneys assist in establishing guardianships and conservatorships, providing peace of mind that your loved ones are cared for by trusted individuals under the protection of Missouri law.
When a loved one passes, the estate must be managed in accordance with the law. Our estate planning lawyers guide families through estate administration and probate administration, ensuring that assets are collected, debts are settled, and distributions are made properly. We work to minimize stress during what is often a difficult time.
Disputes sometimes arise over the validity of a will, the management of a trust, or the rights of beneficiaries. Our attorneys have extensive experience handling probate litigation and trust litigation in district court, protecting our clients’ interests while seeking fair and efficient resolutions.
