Finding out you've been cut out of your parent’s trust can be a shock. At The Probate Law Center, we understand your emotions and are here to help you take the necessary steps to resolve the situation.

Probate is the legal process through which a deceased person’s estate is administered and distributed according to their will or, if there's no will, according to state law. In Missouri, whether or not you need to probate an estate depends on various factors, including the size and nature of the estate, the presence of a will, and the specific circumstances surrounding the deceased’s assets.

Contesting a will can be a difficult and emotionally taxing process. It involves legal disputes over a deceased person’s estate and can affect family dynamics, financial security, and the distribution of assets.

Probate can be intimidating, especially if you've never encountered it. Whether you're dealing with the estate of a loved one or planning your own, understanding how probate works is very important.
