Trusts and Estates

Estate Planning
One of the major motivations for estate planning is to accomplish the transfer of wealth from one generation to the next with that wealth being diminished as little as possible by estate and inheritance taxes. Fortunately, under current law neither Kansas or Missouri has a stand alone inheritance or estate tax. The Federal Estate Tax is based upon the total amount a decedent owns or controls at the time of death, this includes not only real estate and investment account, but also retirement accounts (such as IRAs, 401(k) accounts, and 403(b) accounts) and life insurance which is included at that face-amount of the policies (not the smaller cash-value of the policy that applied during the deceased person’s lifetime. One of the key areas of planning for estate tax purposes is valuation of closely held business interests. Our firm has experience in obtaining qualified business valuations as well as experience in litigating business valuations and valuation discounts.
Wills
We represent both Plaintiffs and Defendants in litigated matters regarding the validity of Will and Trust Documents, the meaning and legal effect of particular terms in documents, questions regarding the appropriateness of actions taken by Court appointed fiduciaries and Trustees, and claims against estates and Trusts, including claims for spousal elective share rights.
Trusts
Ideally, Special Needs Trust provisions are adopted as part of an overall estate plan and simply remain as contingent provisions to come into place upon the death of the Grator (when distributions to beneficiaries are funded). In that manner inherited assets never actually come into the ownership and possession of the beneficiary with the incapacity or disability. This pre-planning ensures that ongoing benefits are not disrupted. However, Federal and State law also allow for special needs trusts to be established after an inheritance has already vested. In that case, special care must be taken to comply with the strict exception rules under the applicable statutes.
Power of Attorney
A Power of Attorney for Health Care Decisions names a person (often with a back-up) to make health and medical decisions when a person is unable to make his/her wishes known to a doctor due to accident, injury, or general inability to process medical information. Power is only effective if/when that person is unable to give his/her own personal consent for treatment to the medical providers.
Probate
Due to the complexity of the Court procedures and the legal liability imposed on an executor (called “fiduciary duties”), it is nearly impossible for an individual to perform the job of an executor properly without legal advice. Because of our firms sole focus on estate planning and probate law we have more than twenty years experience in advising Court appointed executors and Trustees on how to properly perform these tasks.

Foreclosure
Tax Law
The first step in a probate proceeding is to determine whether someone had a valid Will (testate) or dies without a valid Will (intestate). A Will often (but not always) determines the person or institution to be appointed as executor for the estate. The executor’s job is the gather the probate property together, make a report to the court of the full extent of the property (the Inventory), deal with claims and expenses for the estate, deal with tax matters, sell property if necessary, and then to distribute the net estate according to the terms of the Will or State law.
