Estate Planning, Probate, Trust Administration, and Fiduciary Litigation

Protecting Families, Preserving Wealth, and Securing Legacies

Preserving wealth and protecting family assets are every bit as important as building them. KAZANAS LC Law Firm assists individuals, families, professionals, business owners, trustees, beneficiaries, and fiduciaries throughout Missouri with comprehensive estate planning, probate administration, trust matters, and estate and trust litigation.

Whether clients are planning for the future, administering a loved one's affairs, or confronting family or fiduciary disputes, the Firm provides experienced counsel and practical solutions designed to preserve wealth, minimize uncertainty, and protect what matters most.

Estate Planning and Asset Protection

Effective estate planning involves much more than preparing documents. It is about protecting families, preserving assets, minimizing taxes and probate costs, providing for loved ones, and ensuring that each client's wishes are honored both during life and after death. Our clients often have complex and diverse estates shaped by business ownership, investment assets, blended families, evolving tax laws, increased mobility, and the needs of children, parents, and future generations.

KAZANAS LC assists clients with:

  • Wills and trusts;

  • Revocable and irrevocable trusts;

  • Durable financial powers of attorney;

  • Healthcare powers of attorney and advance directives;

  • Living wills;

  • Asset protection strategies;

  • Business succession planning;

  • Special needs planning;

  • Guardianships and conservatorships; and

  • Trust and estate planning designed to simplify administration and reduce probate expenses.

A well-designed estate plan provides clear guidance on financial and healthcare decisions during life and facilitates the efficient transfer of assets upon death. More importantly, it provides peace of mind to individuals and families.

Probate and Trust Administration

The death or incapacity of a loved one often creates legal and financial challenges that require experienced guidance and compassionate counsel. KAZANAS LC assists personal representatives, trustees, beneficiaries, and families with:

  • Probate administration;

  • Small estate proceedings;

  • Independent and supervised administrations;

  • Trust administration;

  • Fiduciary duties and responsibilities;

  • Creditor claims;

  • Asset distributions;

  • Family settlement agreements; and

  • Will and trust interpretation issues.

The Firm strives to provide practical guidance and efficient administration, helping families navigate difficult circumstances with confidence and clarity.

Estate, Trust, and Fiduciary Litigation

Unfortunately, not all family and fiduciary disputes can be avoided. When disagreements arise, experienced representation becomes essential. KAZANAS LC represents heirs, beneficiaries, trustees, fiduciaries, and personal representatives in matters involving:

  • Will contests;

  • Trust disputes;

  • Breach of fiduciary duty claims;

  • Removal of trustees and personal representatives;

  • Accounting disputes;

  • Claims involving undue influence and lack of capacity;

  • Beneficiary disputes;

  • Asset ownership controversies;

  • Powers of attorney disputes; and

  • Claims involving financial exploitation.

The Firm's blend of estate planning expertise and litigation experience gives clients a distinct advantage when family conflicts or fiduciary disputes threaten valuable assets and legacies.

Experience That Extends Beyond Documents and Courtrooms

 The Firm's experience in both transactional planning and litigation allows clients to receive practical advice designed not only to resolve immediate issues, but also to preserve wealth, minimize conflict, and protect future generations.
