Put your wishes in writing and spare your family uncertainty with a clear, Missouri-compliant will.
Why Every Missouri Adult Should Have a Will
Without a will, Missouri’s intestacy laws decide who inherits your property, which may not reflect your wishes. A well-drafted will puts you in control and makes administration easier for your loved ones.
What a Simple Will Can Cover
- Who inherits specific property or percentages of your estate
- Executor appointment and powers
- Guardians for minor children
- Charitable gifts and special bequests
Trust Funding Matters
Creating the trust is only the first step. Properly funding your trust—retitling real estate and accounts and updating beneficiary designations—ensures your plan works as intended. Our knowledgeable estate planning attorneys guide you through each step.
Will vs. Trust
A will does not avoid probate. Many clients pair a simple will with a revocable living trust for privacy and efficiency. We’ll help you choose the right mix for your goals and budget.
Updating Your Will
We recommend revisiting your will after major life events—marriage, divorce, a new child or grandchild, a significant inheritance, or a move to a new state.
