“Wonderful experience in doing a restatement of our original 10yr old trust. Very helpful in explaining all options to protect us, our family and assets for future generations with all the legal knowledge needed but without the hassles of probate for those that remain after us. Would recommend this company to anyone wanting clear and competent estate planning.”

A Wichita estate planning attorney helps you draft essential legal documents—like wills, living trusts, and powers of attorney—so your assets, family, and wishes are protected without costly probate court involvement.
Yes. Estate planning isn’t just for the wealthy—it’s for anyone who wants to protect their family, outline their healthcare wishes, and avoid probate delays in Kansas courts.
If you pass away without a will in Wichita or anywhere in Kansas, your estate will go through intestate probate. That means state law—not you—decides who inherits your assets.
A will goes through probate; a revocable living trust lets you avoid probate, maintain privacy, and pass assets smoothly. Many Wichita families use both tools together.
Ideally, years before you plan to retire or sell. A proactive business succession plan helps Wichita business owners protect their company, train future leadership, and avoid rushed decisions if something unexpected happens.
A special needs trust is key. It allows you to leave assets for your child’s future without affecting their eligibility for essential government benefits in Kansas.
