Trust, or Will?

Which is better, a will or a trust? In the unfortunate event that you pass away or become incapacitated, you will need to allocate your assets and belongings to loved ones. There are times that a will can cause lengthy legal proceedings, as you may need to file a petition to the probate court. If so, we can offer guidance that can help you move forward.

Regardless of what brings you to our office, we offer free consultations that will allow us to discuss your unique situation and analyze all of your options. Call Markell Estate Planning & Elder Law today to set up an appointment.

You may feel confused or unsure about what steps to take when planning for your future. Though complex, it is necessary as long as you want to save your loved ones from any legal headaches after you pass. No matter the size of your estate, our role as an estate-planning team is to guide you through the process, so you and your family can feel secure as you move forward in life.

While planning your estate, you may need our assistance in creating a Last Will & Testament or a trust. Because of our knowledge in this area, we will be able to answer any questions or concerns you may have, so you can feel confident about the plan in place.

If a loved one has passed away and they did not meet with an estate planning attorney, you could be left in charge of their estate. Missouri has laws regarding how a loved one’s property is distributed, so you will have to file a petition for probate to start that process.

Unfortunately, the need for legal guidance for life’s unexpected challenges does not end at a certain age. As an experienced elder law firm, we can assist those who need a better understanding of Medicaid and its application process and educating you on social security benefits. Whatever your needs are, we’re here to help. Schedule a free consultation with us today!
