Estate Administration and Probate Litigation
In Missouri, after someone dies there is a process for transferring ownership of their assets. The process consists of filing a will with the court and submitting an inventory of assets within 30 days, allowing creditors to file claims and making sure debts are paid. After this period, you are free to distribute assets according to the will. However, effective use of a trust will avoid the probate process.
In addition to helping clients with the estate administration and probate process, we represent creditors seeking to obtain money from an estate. We also provide legal counsel to clients who feel they were improperly excluded from a will. Our attorneys have extensive experience in estate cases and look forward to helping with your estate and probate matters.
