Irrevocable Trust

Estate Planning for Missouri and Kansas Residents

Wills, Trusts, Powers of Attorney for Missouri and Kansas Residents by an Experienced Trusts & Estates Lawyer

Core Estate Planning

We work with Missouri and Kansas families and individuals of all ages to prepare a plan that is designed to work specifically for their situation.  We may utilize revocable trusts, last wills, powers of attorney, deeds, beneficiary designations or some other document or strategy but these are just the puzzle pieces that must be properly assembled to have an effective plan.

For Seniors

In addition to the Core Planning most people need, an estate plan for seniors should also account for the concerns and needs that are often unique to them, such as the more acute risk of long-term care or incapacity and how to leave assets for a surviving spouse, adult children and grandchildren.

For Parents of Young Children

Parents with minor children have valid concerns about what would happen to their children if one or both parents died prematurely. We can put a proper plan in place that names the right guardians for the children and protects the children’s inheritance until they are able to manage it themselves.

For Blended Families

When either spouse in a marriage has children from a previous relationship, it requires careful and deliberate planning to make sure each spouse’s assets are distributed the way they really intend. Children of one spouse may be unintentionally disinherited without an effective strategy.

SPECIAL NEEDS TRUSTS

We work with parents and families to make sure their loved one is protected. Revocable or Irrevocable Trusts are one of our primary tools to preserve your family member’s public benefits while also providing them financial and other  needed support.  

for Business Owners

Business Owners often want to pass their business interests to someone in the family who can successfully run the business. Unfortunately, family dynamics and poor planning often result in family businesses failing after the death of the initial owner. It doesn’t have to be that way.
