Kansas City Attorney
If you are looking for a Kansas City attorney, consider the law firm of Evans & Mullinix, P.A. A trusted law firm in the Midwest, the firm was founded by two Kansas City attorneys that still practice with the firm today. In 1974, Kansas City attorney Timothy Evans joined forces with another Kansas City attorney, Thomas Mullinix, to create a full-service law firm. They built the business by representing both corporate and individual clients in business law, family law, real estate law, tort and estate planning and probate. Their character, integrity and commitment to excellent client service not only helped define our firm culture but also provide the basis for the superior business practices we still follow today.
One of our areas of expertise is estate planning and probate. Because it is preferable for a Kansas City attorney to be licensed to practice in both Kansas and Missouri, we are able to work with you in both states. Our experienced real estate lawyers work closely with you to develop an individualized estate plan that meets your needs. We review your financial circumstances and your wishes for distribution of assets at the time of death. We help to develop a strategy to achieve those objectives, to avoid estate taxes and probate and to facilitate the timely transfer of assets.
Estate planning services should be both timely and cost-effective. Our experienced staff strives to understand your needs while providing a full range of services, including the following:
• Basic Estate Planning. This includes a basic estate plan, consisting of a will, financial power of attorney, health care power of attorney, advance directive, living will and beneficiary deeds.
• Trusts. A revocable living trust is often recommended for more complex situations or for tax savings to utilize the federal estate tax exemption. Our attorneys prepare the trust documents, assist with the proper funding of the trust and provide instructions for transferring assets to the trust.
• Post-Death Administration. We regularly advise successor trustees with the trust administration and distribution of the trust assets after death.
• Probate Estate/Non-Probate Estate. We handle the legal requirements when probate is necessary to settle a loved one’s estate. In fact, in some situations it may be possible to avoid probate. We regularly advise beneficiaries and heirs concerning their rights after death and how to proceed in the most effective manner.
• Guardianship-Conservatorship. When a guardian or conservator must be appointed to manage the affairs of a minor child or disabled adult, our attorneys work closely with the guardian or conservator regarding the legal issues.
