Estate Planning, Probate and Trust

Estate planning has always been an area of emphasis for our firm. We pride ourselves on our representation of clients in the preparation of wills, trusts, charitable foundations, durable powers of attorney and many other sophisticated planning techniques. This emphasis, coupled with our extensive representation of family-owned businesses, has given us a terrific perspective on the planning process as a continuum, beginning with the business formation, through its growth and maintenance, to appropriate transition and exit planning strategies.

Our counsel is designed to help our clients preserve and protect their assets for future generations without interfering with the client’s present enjoyment of his or her hard earned wealth. Our vast experience has equipped us well to provide counsel to our clients, including many local trust companies, on complicated estate planning and administration issues and probate and trust litigation issues.

Our firm’s tradition of leadership in the estate planning field continues as Bob Beachy recently completed his term as the third partner of the firm to serve as President of the Kansas City Estate Planning Society. Bill Denney is a past Director of the Estate Planning Society and has practiced exclusively in the estate planning arena for more than 30 years. With more than a decade each of practice experience, Mindy Ward and Paul Himmelstein have established themselves as top practitioners in the field. Our team of professionals has helped countless people with their estate, trust and probate needs from the simplest of wills and probate estates to multimillion dollar estates requiring the most advanced and sophisticated planning available.
