Missouri residents use estate planning to ensure efficient transfers and protect personal choice. Wills, powers of attorney, advance directives, and living trusts are standard tools, especially since Missouri doesn’t impose an estate tax. Planning helps families avoid probate, minimize conflict, and prepare for medical incapacity. Whether in cities or farm towns, Missourians value legal plans that safeguard inheritance, honor personal values, and support generational stability through clearly documented decisions and enforceable documents.
