Wills, Trusts, and Estate Planning

There are many misleading or faulty conceptions concerning wills and estate planning such as - "wills avoid probate," "my will disposes all of my property," "the law will take care of distributing my property," "I don't have a large enough 'estate' to bother with a will," "anyone can write a will; you just say who you want to get what and sign it" and so forth.

The vast majority of people living in Kansas and Missouri need nothing more than a simple will or trust, together with ancillary documents (such as powers of attorney, and living wills) to adequately handle their affairs. Unfortunately, the vast majority of people do not even have those simple documents.  Whether you have a simple estate or whether you have a complicated estate plan that has tax planning issues, we can assist you.  With the knowledge of an attorney and a CPA, your estate planning needs will be met.
