Do You Need an Estate Plan?

Whether or not it is worthwhile to create an estate plan depends on your circumstances and goals for the future. If you are the owner of significant assets or property, it is a good idea to determine how they will be distributed upon your death or incapacity. If you have children or dependents that you wish to look out for in the future, an estate plan can achieve these goals.

How Can a Kirkwood Estate Planning Lawyer Help You?

Once you decide that having an estate plan is in your best interest, the next step should be consulting with a qualified estate planning attorney in Kirkwood. An estate planning lawyer in Kirkwood will have the experience, knowledge and tools to make this legal process as simple and rewarding as possible.

An attorney will ensure that your legacy and loved ones are protected, taking the guesswork out of planning for the future. You can count on your estate planning lawyer to help you achieve your goals and overcome any challenges that may arise with personalized legal solutions.

What Goes Into Creating an Estate Plan in Kirkwood?

Crafting an estate plan that you can feel confident in starts with taking an inventory of your assets. Our lawyers can help you document all of your property and debts, and then help you choose your beneficiaries (and alternates).

Most estate plans include a will, which can designate who will inherit your property and name a guardian for any minor children you have. Missouri law requires wills to be in writing, signed and witnessed. A St. Louis wills attorney is here to help.

Next, your lawyer will help you consider opening a trust. A revocable living trust, for example, can help your loved ones avoid probate – saving them time and money. Your estate plan may also involve establishing a power of attorney, creating a health care directive and organizing your estate in a way that minimizes taxes.

We thought or old will and plan was up to date, we were wrong. Everything about a trust is what we needed. All done in 5 days. Wills go to probate, trusts don't. Just added trust as secondary beneficiary. Thank you Ted! Great customer service!

Where do I start?! Ted was amazing from beginning to end. After speaking with several attorneys who made getting a beneficiary deed sound incredibly complicated. Ted scheduled me the same week and had everything handled quickly and efficiently; we were in and out in no time.
Beyond his efficiency, what stood out most was his professionalism and kindness. He treats you like a person, not just another transaction and that truly makes a difference. I genuinely appreciate his approach and will absolutely recommend this law firm. I plan to continue to do a business with them moving forward.

Ted was very helpful in setting up our will and trust. My wife and I are in our early 70s and should have done this a long time ago. His cost for this service was very reasonable. We definitely recommend him.

If you need attorneys who will fight for you....look no further. I had a need to get out of a real estate partnership that went sour and needed to get out of a mortgage situation that was cumbersome (mostly emotional) to me. Through a referral from a friend I called TdD Attorneys at Law and got a same day initial appointment with Ted Disabato. Ted talked with me, not down to me, and suggested to do a Partition lawsuit. He explained, in detail what it meant, to my satisfaction. After hiring the firm, I was contacted by his associate attorney (Pitbull) Louis Teson. What a fine young man this guy is. He mediated an amicable agreement with my (former) ex partner and the rest is history. Thank you Ted, and thank you Louis. From the bottom of my heart!! P.S. Ted...you need to work on making Louis a Partner. 🙂

We have utilized Ted's services and expertise in property law in several capacities now--to sell one home and buy two, and for our estate planning. The process could not have been easier and he explained every step of the way. Ted is incredibly knowledgeable and approachable. You will leave feeling like every contingency has been thought of, and like you can rest easy that your loved ones will be taken care of. Highly recommend Ted.
