Frequently Asked Questions
What documents are included in a basic estate plan in Missouri?
A basic estate plan typically includes a last will and testament, a durable power of attorney for finances, a healthcare power of attorney, and a living will. In Missouri, a will must be signed by the testator and two witnesses to be valid under state law.
How long does probate take in Boone County Missouri?
Probate in Boone County generally takes 6 to 12 months for a simple estate, but complex cases can take longer. Missouri law requires creditors to file claims within 6 months of the first publication of notice, which can extend the process.
Do I need an estate plan if I do not have many assets?
Even with modest assets, an estate plan is important in Missouri to name guardians for minor children, designate beneficiaries, and avoid intestacy. Without a will, Missouri state law determines who inherits your property, which may not match your wishes.
