Contact our lawyers at 816.836.5050 to schedule an initial consultation regarding any estate planning, administration or litigation concerns.

We can provide you with straightforward guidance on litigation that has arisen from a wide variety of issues, including:

• Distribution of an estate
• Inappropriate management of trusts
• Misuse of assets from a trust
• Disputes related to guardianships and conservatorships

We have extensive experience handling probate and trust litigation matters in Missouri courts. Most probate matters in our area are restricted to a single division within the courts — we know the practice and procedure of this division, allowing us to obtain results for our clients effectively and efficiently.

In addition to our experience in the courtroom though, we can effectively craft settlements to resolve probate disputes. Probate and trust matters often involve delicate and personal family matters. The individuals engaged in the dispute know much more about the circumstances and situation at hand than a judge or jury ever could — which means that they are generally best-equipped to create acceptable solutions.

We routinely use negotiation, mediation and arbitration to handle probate and trust disputes. We are often able to create creative solutions that protect our clients' interests without the need for a full trial.

Our attorneys communicate in a clear and understandable manner. We will take the time to make certain you are aware of all of the details of your case. When you have a decision to make, you will be fully aware of the possible outcomes related to each option that is available to you.
