Missouri Attorneys for Wills and Trusts
A significant part of estate planning is developing a trust or drafting a will. These documents are used to determine how assets should be distributed after death. At our St. Louis law firm, our attorneys urge people to take the steps needed to plan for their families and their property. Our attorneys combine many years of experience with a dedication to providing clients with high quality legal counsel. This allows our law firm to address issues related to wills and trusts with sensitivity and care while providing clients with estate planning documents that will accomplish their goals.
At the St. Louis law firm of Sindel, Sindel & Noble, P.C., we draft wills and set up trusts. In addition, we undertake litigation related to wills or trusts. We answer clients' questions, address their concerns and guide them through the estate planning process.
The Difference Between a Will and a Trust
Whether you choose a will or a trust depends on your circumstances and goals. The big differences are these:
- A trust is private and its assets are not subject to probate
- It is usually cheaper to prepare a will than set up a trust
- It may be cheaper to administer a trust than to administer a probate estate
Our lawyers can advise you about choosing between a will and a trust to meet your estate planning needs.

We undertake trust and probate litigation involving matters such as allegations of improper investments, lack of capacity to make a will or trust and excessive expenditures by an executor or trustee.
