Estate Planning And Administration: Guiding You And Your Loved Ones Through Loss

The Fulton law firm of Riley Stingley Brazas helps Missouri residents protect their assets for the future and continue providing for their relatives by creating comprehensive estate plans to distribute assets to heirs, protect loved-ones, avoid unnecessary taxes, utilize non-probate transfers, and save your money for your beneficiaries.

A complete estate plan can include any or all of the following tools, but most require skilled attorneys who are familiar with and can draft all estate planning documents to be sure you have all the options you need:

  • Wills
  • Living wills
  • Advance estate planning
  • Advance healthcare directives
  • Powers of attorney
  • Guardianships
  • Tax planning
  • Revocable and irrevocable trusts
  • Charitable trusts
  • Special needs trusts
  • Credit shelter trusts
  • Life insurance trusts
  • Asset Protection Trusts
  • Family limited partnerships

The firm is experienced in devising complex estate plans, business succession plans, and all the documents needed for large estates with varied assets, but the attorneys also handle simpler estate plans and modifications as well. The firm works extensively with clients on probate-avoidance and minimizing or reducing estate taxes.
