Missouri Will Attorneys
Many people believe that having a will helps keep their estates out of probate. However, a will does just the opposite, acting as a guide for the probate court to carry out your wishes. An experienced estate planning attorney can help you draft a will that eases the probate process instead of hindering it.
At Case, Rajnoha & Boudreau, LLP, we have more than 50 years of legal experience in estate planning and administration, including drafting effective wills. We also provide services for families involved in a traumatic will contest or simply going through the probate process after the death of a loved one. Whatever your situation, our Ballwin, Missouri, firm has the knowledge and experience to tackle your unique challenges.
Drafting an Effective Will
Without a will, Missouri law dictates how your real and personal property will be divided. A will makes clear your intentions about how remaining assets should be distributed, and it works to eliminate tension among your family members.
Whether you have a moderate number of assets or multi-million dollar estate, our lawyers work efficiently to help you achieve your unique goals.
Our firm seeks to make the process as simple as possible for you. We work one on one with you to:
- Review all assets/property to be included in the will
- Select a personal representative to handle distribution
- Plan for advanced health care directives in case you become incapacitated
- Choose a health care power of attorney to make health care decisions if in a medical emergency
- Establish a guardianship or conservatorship for minor children or dependants with special needs
- Work to ensure your wishes are carried out throughout the probate process
If you would rather avoid the probate process, we will help you explore other options, such as a trust agreement.
