Probate

Efficient Service in Missouri Estate Administration

Having a sound estate preservation plan in place doesn't always guarantee that probate legal issues won't arise at the death of an estate holder. For example, wills must be updated to include additional financial assets and real estate holdings acquired over the years. When families have estates of high net worth, will contests and disputes over property valuation and asset division may also surface. Baerveldt Law Firm, LLC, provides a full range of estate administration and probate litigation services to meet the needs of executors and survivors of deceased estate holders.

If you are the executor of a will, or are a surviving family member with concerns about probate law, contact our offices to schedule a free initial consultation with Donald Baerveldt. We will explain the probate process and outline the legal options that are available to resolve your probate matters. Attorney Donald Baerveldt serves as the appointed trustee for testamentary trust accounts and represents families whose inheritance is subject to probate court decisions.
