What Happens Without a Plan?

Probate Court Nightmare

Without proper planning, your family could spend 6-18 months in probate court, with legal fees eating up 3-7% of your estate.

The State Decides

If you don't have a will, Kansas and Missouri law determines who gets your assets—not you. This often leads to outcomes you never intended.

Family Conflict

Without clear instructions, family members are left guessing about your wishes, often leading to disputes and damaged relationships.

Unprotected Children

Without designated guardians, a court decides who raises your children. Without a trust, they may receive their inheritance before they're ready.

Tax Consequences

Poor planning can result in unnecessary estate taxes and income taxes on inherited retirement accounts, reducing what your family receives.

Healthcare Decisions

Without proper documents, family members may be unable to make medical decisions for you if you're incapacitated, leading to delays and court involvement.

Frequently Asked Questions

How much does estate planning cost?
Every situation is unique, so we provide custom quotes after your free consultation. However, comprehensive estate plans typically range from $1,500 to $5,000+ depending on complexity. We believe in transparent pricing with no hidden fees, and we'll give you a clear quote before starting any work.
Do I really need a trust, or is a will enough?
It depends on your situation. A will must go through probate court, which takes 6-18 months and costs 3-7% of your estate in fees. A revocable living trust avoids probate entirely, provides privacy, and allows for seamless asset transfer. If you own a home or have assets over $100,000, a trust often makes sense.
What's included in a comprehensive estate plan?
A comprehensive estate plan typically includes: a will or revocable living trust, durable power of attorney for finances, healthcare power of attorney, living will/advance directive, HIPAA authorization, and depending on your needs, guardianship nominations, beneficiary designations review, and business succession documents.
How long does the process take?
Most estate plans are completed within 2-4 weeks. The initial consultation takes about an hour, then we draft your documents, you review them, and we schedule a signing meeting. Complex situations (business succession, multiple properties, blended families) may take longer.
What makes Harvest Law KC different?
Our Life Stages approach means we're your long-term partners.
