Independence Lawyers For Estate Planning And Administration

Because we value the skill that comes with focus, we practice in the complementary areas of estate planning, estate litigation and probate, and business and commercial law. We help people manage their property and estates throughout their lives.

Wills, Trusts And Estate Administration Lawyers

Our Independence, Missouri, law firm has a reputation for helping individuals and families manage their wealth and their estates. We understand that you have worked hard your whole life to accumulate your assets and you deserve to have them protected.

We offer a full range of estate planning services, including:

  • Wills

  • Advanced health care directives

We also assist older adults with matters of elder law, including Medicaid and long-term care planning.

Jackson County Estate Litigation Attorneys

We assist with the administration of estates for people and families who have lost loved ones. If you are a personal representative or other heir, we can help you probate and oversee your loved one’s assets to ensure that their wishes are followed.

In the event a dispute arises during the course of the administration of an estate, litigation may be necessary. Our seasoned litigators routinely advise clients in disputes involving a trust or estate, and are prepared to prosecute or defend cases involving:

  • Will or trust contests
  • Allegations of a breach of fiduciary duty
  • Challenges by beneficiaries
  • Objections to accountings
  • Removal or substitution of a trustee or personal representative

Business And Commercial Law Services

We help business owners and directors operate legally and profitably, addressing their needs in transactional matters, mediation and litigation. If you need to enforce a contract, complete a transaction or protect your rights in court, we can help you protect your interests — and your bottom line.
