Probate

The loss of a loved one is a difficult time, especially if it is necessary to open a an estate through the Probate court. Most folks think that a Will keeps property from having to be passed to heirs through the probate court, but that is not a correct assumption. A Will alone requires probate in order to be effectuated. 

Other folks pass away with no direction as to how their assets should pass to their heirs. When that happens, a probate estate is necessary to make sure the heirs of the deceased inherit what they should according to Missouri law. The probate laws of Missouri are often interpreted incorrectly by the general public due to misinformation circulated by TV and media about how probate actually works.
