Wills, Trusts and Powers of Attorney

Wills, Trusts and Powers of AttorneyWhat is your plan to protect your family's future when something happens to you?

You may not know it, but you and your loved ones already have a plan for them for after you have passed away. If you don’t have a will, the State of Missouri’s probate and intestate laws will tell your survivors who will inherit your estate, and the chances are that you probably won’t like it.

With the help of an attorney, a CPA and a financial planner, planning how to take care of your estate can also, in some cases, be a way to limit tax liability, avoid the probate process, or plan for succession issues in a family business. Your children, including adult children with disabilities, can be protected by use of a trust.

A health care power of attorney can protect you when you are unable to protect yourself. Naming an “attorney in fact” for health care purposes leaves no doubt who speaks for you to insurance companies, doctors and other health care professionals when you are unable to speak for yourself.

Many of our clients have found comfort in making their intentions regarding their health care known by use of a living will. Declaring your intentions about your health care can make sure you receive the care you want, and can assure not only doctors, but also family and loved ones, of your intentions.

A financial power of attorney can help you protect your assets when you are unable to do so.

Whether you need a will, a trust, or a power of attorney, The Korte Law Firm can help you make sure that your loved ones are protected the way that you think is best.
