TRUSTs
Trust Attorney in Kansas and Missouri
A trust is a powerful tool in your estate plan. It allows you to manage how your assets are held, protected, and distributed, both during your lifetime and after your passing. Trusts can provide greater control over your property, help avoid probate, reduce potential tax liability, and offer protections for beneficiaries, including those with special needs.
At Kelley Law Firm, we help individuals and families across Kansas and Missouri create clear and legally valid trusts. Our goal is to make the process simple, comfortable, and tailored to your unique needs.
Why a Trust Is Important
A trust allows you to:
- Control how and when your assets are distributed
- Protect assets from probate, delays, and public disclosure
- Safeguard property for minors, beneficiaries with special needs, or other vulnerable individuals
- Reduce potential estate taxes
- Provide clarity and direction for your family
Without a trust, your assets may be subject to probate, which can be time-consuming, costly, and public. A well-crafted trust ensures your wishes are followed and your loved ones are protected.
What a Trust Can Cover
A thoughtfully drafted trust may include:
- Distribution of financial accounts, real estate, and personal property
- Provisions for minor children or dependents with special needs
- Instructions for managing assets during your lifetime and after your passing
- Protections against creditors or other risks
- Charitable gifts or special bequests
We work with you to create a comprehensive trust that clearly expresses your intentions and provides peace of mind for you and your family.
