Experienced Legal Guidance in Kansas City
for Wills and Probate Administration
En Español
With the right estate plan, you can make important decisions today to prepare for the future. Rather than letting the State decide who will care for your children and how your assets will be distributed after you pass, you can state your wishes in advance, giving you the best chance of ensuring that they will be carried out.
At the Kessler Law Offices, P.A., we have nearly 30 years of will preparation and probate administration experience. If you want to create a plan to meet your goals, or you need an experienced lawyer to guide you through the probate process after a loved one has passed away, we can help.

Wills: Taking Steps Today to Plan for Tomorrow
We are dedicated to treating every client with the respect, dignity and attention they deserve. We will help you develop a basic estate plan that gives you — and your loved ones — peace of mind about the future.
Depending on your specific needs, we will use one or more of these tools to protect your loved ones and your assets:
- Will — This document lets you specify how your assets will be distributed after you pass, name an executor for your estate, and name a guardian to care for your minor children should both parents die.
- Testamentary trust — This trust is used along with a will to protect and distribute your assets after you pass.
- Power of attorney — Medical and financial powers of attorney allow you to name people you trust to make decisions on your behalf.
- Living will — Also called an advanced health care directive, this document outlines your wishes regarding life-prolonging measures should you ever be in an unconscious or persistent vegetative state.
Planning ahead gives you the best chance of ensuring that your children and assets will be taken care of according to your wishes. Without a valid will in place, the probate court will make these decisions for you.
