No matter where you are in life, it’s important to begin conversations about how your personal matters and financial affairs should be handled if you pass away or become incapacitated. While these topics aren’t always easy or pleasant to think about, anyone over the age of 18 should consider some level of planning. Estate planning allows you to maintain control over decisions affecting your physical care and medical treatment in the event of an accident, injury, or serious illness.
At Kelley Law Firm, we help families protect their assets, preserve their legacy, and gain peace of mind through thoughtful, personalized estate planning. As a leading Estate Planning Attorney serving Kansas and Missouri, we work closely with our clients to create plans that clearly reflect their goals and safeguard the people who matter most.

We offer both in-person and remote consultations for your convenience. Schedule a consultation today to get started.

We work closely with you to create a comprehensive, customized estate plan that reflects your wishes and financial goals. Your plan may include wills, trusts, powers of attorney, healthcare directives, and tailored asset protection strategies designed to protect you and your loved ones.

We guide families through the probate process in Kansas and Missouri. If you are responsible for administering a loved one’s estate, we provide steady, experienced support to help minimize delays and avoid unnecessary complications during an already difficult time.

If you have been tasked with administering a trust, we provide clear guidance to help you comply with the trust’s terms and carry out your duties as trustee in an effective and efficient manner.

We prepare durable powers of attorney for financial and healthcare decisions. These documents allow trusted individuals to act on your behalf and provide stability within your estate plan if unexpected events occur.

A trust allows you to manage and distribute your assets according to your wishes, both during your lifetime and after your death. Trusts can provide greater control, privacy, and efficiency, while helping avoid probate and reduce the risk of disputes. When properly structured, a trust is a powerful tool for protecting your assets and ensuring your legacy is carried out as intended.

A will outlines how your assets will be distributed and who will care for your minor children. As a foundational element of your estate plan, a properly drafted will clearly documents your wishes and helps reduce the risk of confusion or disputes among loved ones. In Kansas and Missouri, wills must be carried out through the probate process, which provides court oversight to ensure your instructions are properly followed.
