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 and a healthcare directive. Missouri recognizes both living wills and durable powers of attorney for healthcare under Chapter 404.
How does Missouri handle probate for small estates?
Under Missouri law Section 473.097 estates valued at $40,000 or less can use a simplified small estate process. This avoids full probate and requires only an affidavit filed with the probate court in the county where the decedent lived.
Can I update my Missouri estate plan without a lawyer?
While you can write your own will Missouri requires it to be signed by two witnesses who are not beneficiaries. Mistakes in execution can make the will invalid so consulting an attorney helps ensure your documents meet legal requirements.
