Without a clear estate plan, Missouri’s default laws may result in:
Even a basic will may not be enough to protect everyone involved.
Making sure that your whole family is protected and set up for success doesn’t have to be stressful. We speak with you to make sure we have considered all of the people and practices that make for a bright future for all.
A trust allows you to control how assets are distributed—such as providing income to a spouse during their lifetime while preserving the principal for children.
This tool can ensure your surviving spouse is supported without compromising your children’s future inheritance.
Clarify financial expectations between spouses and protect family wealth.
Ensure someone you trust is authorized to make decisions for you if you're unable to—especially important in blended families where roles can be unclear.
Coordinate life insurance, retirement accounts, and payable-on-death accounts with your estate plan to avoid accidental disinheritance.
